Background

About Marcelle James

With over 15 years of experience spanning education, banking, accounting, and administration, I have honed my expertise in financial operations, procurement, reconciliation, and compliance. My journey has equipped me with a profound understanding of university-level administrative and financial systems, enabling me to navigate complex organizational landscapes effectively.​ In my tenure at NYU, I played a pivotal role in the university-wide implementation of Concur, explicitly designing and executing the Payment Cards module. This initiative streamlined expense management processes and enhanced policy compliance across departments. Additionally, I authored comprehensive procedures for the Payment Card team, facilitating seamless adoption and operational efficiency post-implementation.​ My proficiency encompasses auditing, data analysis, reporting, vendor relations, and policy enforcement, supported by advanced skills in tools such as Microsoft Excel, PeopleSoft, ServiceLink, and Concur. I excel in cross-functional collaboration, process improvement, and risk mitigation, consistently aiming to optimize financial operations and bolster institutional efficiency.​ Beyond my professional endeavors, I am passionate about organizing complex systems and fostering relationships across departments. As a single mother, I have developed the art of balancing multiple responsibilities, which has further enhanced my organizational and efficiency skills. As an avid traveler and aspiring travel agent, I bring the same dedication and meticulous planning to my interests as I do to my professional endeavors.
