About Katie Simpson

I am an Senior Accountant for the California Closets shared services corporate team. In this role I assist multiple branches in weekly and monthly reporting, specializing in Revenue on the AR team. One of the biggest accomplishments within my ten years there, has been the set up of the shared services team. The team started with me and two others and grew to the large team it is today. I enjoy being challenged and also find great value in improving processes to find the best practices in getting a job done. I like being a part of a team where we all work well together in performing the little things as well as accomplishing big initiatives.Before becoming a part of the shared services corporate team, I was the Accounts Receivables Supervisor of the Phoenix Retail Business Unit. This was a wonderful and beneficial experience to understand the functions at the branch level to know how to better assist them with reporting and reconciling. It also was great to get in and learn how to use CAD and schedule design consultations and coordinate installations.I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Grand Canyon University as well as an Associates in Arts from Paradise Valley Community College.I am eager to hear from former colleagues, managers, or others out there who can help me to continuously improve business processes and to see what’s happening in the design and construction industry.
