Deborah Davis’s Summary

I have an extensive background that has given me a broad exposure to all fiscal operations and their inter-departmental relationships. It has also developed my oral and written communication skills, with all levels of the workforce.

I have written, designed, trained, and implemented new policies and procedures throughout the various disciplines including Accounting, Treasury, Human Resources, IT, Shipping, Receiving, Inventory Control, Purchasing, etc in my previous Controller / HR Manager positions.

My responsibilities have and currently encompass not only the Financial departments (Accounts Payable, Payroll, General Accounting & Reporting) but also included those employees handling the Purchasing, Inventory Control, and Receiving & Shipping areas. I have often been called upon to act in place of the General Manager or City Manager including being highly involved in all aspects of business from Human Resources to the Business Plan to writing bills-of-material and routings to grant processings to the selling of Bonds and working with the underwriters.
