Background

About David Harriss

I am a financial and operational professional driven to improve processes that directly contribute to the liquidity and profitability of an organization. I have consistently demonstrated the ability to improve working capital and develop strong teams that work seamlessly with internal and external customers. I have a passion for managing people to ensure each person on the team maximizes their skills and interests to move the organization forward. I strongly believe that developing performance standards and processes to accurately monitor individual and team performance improve the effectiveness and unity within a team. My most recent experience in the order to cash process has allowed me to implement innovative procedures that decreased DSO 32%. These procedures also reduced billing errors and drove down bad debt expense to 0.8% of revenue in an industry that serves customers that are under tremendous cash flow constraints. Furthermore, internal customer satisfaction ratings have increased from the low 30% range to the high 80% range as direct result of actions implemented by my team.
