About Joe D.

I create value for organizations by setting a standard of leadership by example. Over the past 5 years, I’ve reported directly to a Director of Accounting, driving measurable improvements across inventory, audit, and financial reconciliation. I successfully reduced inventory reporting timelines from 90 days to 30 days, accelerating decision-making and improving accuracy. I developed Power Query automations that save over 2 hours weekly in payroll reporting, and built automated journal definitions in BlackLine that save more than 4 hours of work each week. In addition, I designed Excel-based financial reporting tools and dashboards that provide leadership with clearer insights into P&L results, enabling more strategic discussions during financial meetings. My experience spans general accounting, inventory management, and standard cost accounting for cost of sales
