Temporary Accountant
DUTIES: Phase I. Assist the accounting and finance department with
their annual budget process. Phase II. Successfully convert the basic
Lotus budget spreadsheets into Excel format.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Phase II. The first step to this accomplishment was
to unravel and understand the original Lotus spreadsheets that were
all filled in by manual data entry. After creating the Excel format
and VBA routines needed to automatically download all the account
data into the various workbooks, linking this information to
end-reports and more analytical spreadsheets and charts was done.
Linking also allowed for auditing (or drilling down) to get to the
original source of the data. User-forms, custom menus, and utility
programs were created to make the spreadsheets user-friendly. A
system of checks and balances was implemented to verify or enable
quick reconciliation of deviations in the reports or analytical
spreadsheets caused by errant modifications. Numerous types of flow
charts and instructions were created or written to help the users
understand the relationship of the workbooks and specific information
needed to complete the budgeting process correctly.
