About Peter R. O. Danielson

As a CPA with over a decade of accounting experience, I’ve developed a strong and diverse background in financial reporting, strategic managerial accounting, and audit response. My career has taken me through multiple industries, including tech, construction, oil & gas, and manufacturing. I’ve consistently added value by improving financial accuracy, streamlining operations, and mentoring team members to grow into strong professionals.I\'ve led global teams, overseeing revenue reporting, A/P, A/R, payroll, and month-end close processes for entities generating $1.1B in annual revenue. I’ve spearheaded initiatives that reduced close times by three days, standardized global reconciliations across regions, and recovered millions in operational cash through process improvements.Throughout my career, I’ve led successful year-end audit efforts, partnered with leadership on budgeting and forecasting, and managed accounting responses to complex regulatory changes including ASC 606 and ASC 842. I’ve also built trusted relationships with unions, tax professionals, and external auditors to support business continuity and compliance.What drives me most is the opportunity to make things better, whether that’s optimizing accounting workflows, mentoring staff, or bringing clarity to complex financial data. I hold both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Accounting with a concentration in Strategic Managerial Accounting from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and I maintain an active CPA license.I thrive in dynamic environments that value collaboration, continuous improvement, and high standards. I’m always looking to grow, contribute, and connect with others who are equally passionate about accounting, leadership, and operational excellence.
