Background

About Emma Brazell

Accounting professional with a demonstrated history of cash application, collections, financial analysis, and account reconciliation-Driven by the desire to constantly improve processes and procedures to aid in financial analysis to produce lasting results. Systems Savvy I have had the privilege of using several different computer programs during my career. Many of them were industry-specific ERP and Billing/Invoicing Programs, so I feel comfortable, confident, and capable of taking on any challenge when it comes to learning new systems. Communication Focused One of the most important skills in both my personal and professional life is the ability to communicate concisely and effectively. I pride myself on my ability to build relationships with customers and clients, especially when making collection efforts. Detail Oriented I am one of those who likes to see the big picture, especially when working on tasks. I want to know why I am doing what I am doing, and how it is going to help the team reach our goals. I have found that asking questions and striving to always understand the big picture of the task at hand has helped me become more detail oriented-as unconventional as that sounds! I know that every detail needs to be in line, no matter how small, to produce the desired result. Process Improvement A company is dependent upon its best processes. When it comes to analyzing financial data, sometimes we can get lost in the reports and the hand-me-down procedures from our predecessors. It is important to me to step into every role to be the most efficient person in the role thus far. In my position as an Accounting and Billing Admin Assistant at LA Barrier & Son, I updated report procedures to reduce the amount of time, copy and paste, and keystrokes required to complete an aging report. I also implemented procedures to keep previous weeks aging in the same workbook to compare notes on collection efforts from previous runs. In my role as an Accounting Specialist at MGC Law, I was an integral part of software implementation to automate reimbursement requests. My role was to ensure our new system was being utilized in the most efficient way possible to continue to accomplish procedures we had been doing manually for years.
