PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:Jansy Packaging, LLC, 2200 Fletcher Ave, Suite 514, Fort Lee, NJ, 07024 (Had just split from Burgopak EU)(Contracted through Robert Half -Accountemps Division)

Accounts Payable Specialist, Accountant for Jansy’s New Fort Lee Office’s Fixed Assets, Inventory Control Analyst July 2015-December 2015

Summary of Responsibilities – Audit Project Audited Inventory Account: Investigated and analyzed transactions that were red-flagged by the SEC auditors, using Jansy’s

customized/proprietary Customer/Supplier Data System, their Integrated Accounting Software(Thomas Rueters Creative Accounting Solutions) and QuickBooks.

Investigated filing cabinets held in storage unit for hard copy documentation of these Inventory Purchases, including: Jansy’s Purchase Order, the customer’s Purchase Order, various Packing Lists, Invoices from the 3 parties involved:

i. The manufacturer invoice for a certain product run in China (could get extremely confusing as Jansy’s sales representatives would sometimes request multiple products on each PO). Some were going to need months of manufacturing time and multiple shipments-sometimes as many as 50 full standard shipping units (20’x8’ – called TEU’s), while others (on same PO) would be ready almost immediately – very inefficient and confusing for record-keeping

ii. Jansy’s Invoice to the customer, who in turn was either the retailer or a wholesaler with their own manufacturing system, with our packages being one of the final steps on their assembly lines.

iii. Shipping Invoices (Freight Costs), usually cargo container ships for established products with high TEU capacity at lowest cost from China to one of the three ports Jansy used (Newark NJ, CA, FL) but also included ground shipping for both imports and domestic products, and air freight, usually used only in cases when the merchandise was overdue or for samples for new potential clients/products.

Important also were various Bills of Lading, Warehouse Receiving Reports (these were crucial, but that wasn’t communicated to the employees), and line-by-line item numbers or UPC codes that matched our item numbers, which seldom occurred. The Inventory Control was dysfunctional, but with good reason: Jansy had split off from Burgopak and CEO Brad Zaikov was one of Burgopak’s Partners, but had his own ideas about the way the business could grow- more of a niche-market for high-end items, like perfume/liquor boxes with fancy ribbons and such.. He had a plethora of trusted contacts, and felt comfortable leaving the IC in Burgopak’s hands, which turned out to be an error- the IC Manager knew she was staying with the Parent company, and paid little attention to the new and possibly intimidating product lines. In any event, my duty was to get the audit people off management’s backs. With coordination from Management, A/R, A/P, our Sales Reps, and a bit of luck/creativity, I accomplished the task, and the audit team was satisfied that our COGS figures were reasonably within the confines of SEC guidelines. That was a success!

Summary of Responsibilities – Fort Lee Office Accountant Initiated the new office’s true Beginning Balance Sheet, from store receipts that were saved in a file and also various scanned

receipts that were available to view in Jansy’s network. Developed a Depreciation/Amortization Schedule for all the furniture, equipment, software, goodwill, etc. Made necessary copies of documents to put together a legitimate file together that would withstand scrutiny from officials.

Summary of Responsibilities – Accounts Payable Specialist Whenever possible (80% of time), I was able to clear a shipment. I’d analyze the Receiving Report from the warehouse

manager using Microsoft Outlook. Using Jansy’s internal Inventory Control System, I’d officially Receive the shipment, and then I’d make the necessary copies for

filing and to obtain stamped approval from the A/P manager.

I’d bring this to the CFO, Tom Calibeo, usually for wire transfer to China, thus clearing the liability and its corresponding asset (Inventory Receivable-the account that was too large and was causing SEC issues, as overstated assets=overstated income).
