Curtis Silver’s Summary

I have over ten years experience as a Financial/Data Analyst, working within several different areas of industry including Telecommunications, Accounting & PEO. I am analytical & statistical, but at the same time creative and expressive. I am well traveled in my technical expertise with experience in many programs & software systems, including SQL, Oracle, People Soft, Crystal Reports, Cognos, Visual Basic, Expert in Excel & Access and many more. I have also implemented and perform administrator functions on the Silkroad Technologies Suite of products: RedCarpet, OpenHire, Wingspan & Greenlight

In addition to my financial & analytic expertise, I am also a creative person as well. I have written freelance (on many different topics & styles) for many years and am currently working on a novel which I should finish someday. Someday.

Curtis Silver’s Specialties:

I specialize in problem solving and working the numbers to find the issue. I have keen powers of deduction and excel in high stress, high variable situations.
