Dear Sir/Dear Madam:
Building long-term company growth through sound financial planning
and efficient organizational development are my areas of expertise.
As the Chief Financial Officer for CMS, I made significant impact in
the areas of cash flow generation, operating costs reduction, and
internal processes and procedures. In addition, I developed valuable
contacts through the strategic partnerships I built with more than 20
nonprofit organizations, including educational, charitable, advocacy
and public interest groups.
More recently as a Senior Consultant, I have assisted companies in
growing their bottom-line profitability by implementing accurate
financial reporting, enhancing staff development and training, and
standardizing policies and procedures. Upon completion of my
consultation, one client immediately secured a $250,000 contract.
Representative career accomplishments include:
* Cash Flow Generation: Grew cash flow collections 30% by revamping
invoicing and payment cycles.
* Operating Cost Reduction: Lowered annual technology expenses by
$25,000 through proactive contract renegotiation.
* System Enhancement: Improved financial reporting and resource
allocation capabilities; reversed declining revenue trend for
underperforming division.
* Asset / Real Property Management: Added more than $1 million in
revenues to company by successfully managing disposal of real estate
and subsidiary operations.
Embracing the ability to "think outside the box" and promote
positive changes in nonprofit environments, I am confident that
similar results can be achieved at
While this resume provides an accurate snapshot of my career
background, it cannot substitute a personal interview. I welcome the
opportunity to discuss the level of impact I can bring to your
company.
Sincerely,
Sharon Kline
