About Shannon Nelson
As a seasoned financial professional with a continuous improvement mindset, I move companies forward by streamlining accounting processes and eliminating waste. Throughout my career, I\'ve utilized my communication and project management skills to collaboratively implement accounting systems to solve problems and increase productivity. With the right tools, finance professionals spend more time on value add activities, putting reliable information into the hands of management sooner.My philosophy is to explore the ambiguous, unafraid of challenges ahead, and tackle problems with an optimism for change. I systematically identify patterns and underlying concepts, enabling me to provide sound recommendations for improvement within business processes. I consistently collaborate across teams to implement necessary changes, solving problems effectively with technology.I thrive on change and helping others move through it, with the goal of increasing efficiency and realizing cost-savings within the organization, all while keeping the people in mind.Career Highlights: Implemented Concur Accounts Payable automation software reducing headcount by 1.5. Co-led 6-month QAD ERP system upgrade implementation, collaborating with multiple departments, and creating, modifying, and executing test scripts. Implemented Adaptive Insights, a cloud based financial reporting and budgeting tool, that reduced month-end process by 2 weeks, streamlined the budgeting process, and allowed for timely monthly forecasting and what-if scenario analysis.I am always open to making new connections on this platform, so feel free to reach out with a personalized connection request.
