About Amanda Hamm

I am a hands-on finance leader who believes accounting should be a service center, not a roadblock. With over 20 years of experience in manufacturing and operational finance, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex financial data and the people who need to use it.I am currently seeking a permanent home where I can leverage my experience in Process Optimization and Financial Operations to drive efficiency.Core Competencies & Wins:Process Transformation: Successfully transformed a sluggish 15-day month-end close into a disciplined 2-day close by streamlining workflows and automating non-value-add tasks.Tech-Forward Accounting: Skilled in modernizing the finance stack using ERP systems, AI tools (AutoEntry), and Excel to eliminate manual data entry and \"blank page syndrome.\"Financial Stewardship: I approach every role with an owner’s mindset. I treat company resources with the highest level of stewardship, ensuring that every expense drives value and every decision protects the bottom line.Leadership Style: I balance precision with pragmatism. Whether mentoring a team or partnering with Operations, my goal is to foster transparency and build processes that are \"quietly confident\": reliable, accurate, and invisible to the rest of the business so they can focus on growth.Open to: Remote and Hybrid roles in Accounting Management, Controllership, or Operational Finance.
