Sarah L. Payne
Sr. Staff Accountant
I am highly specialized in forensic accounting paying close attention to details making accurate assessments of the accounts involved. I now have 40 years of experience in every aspect of accounting with a multitude of industries. Some of the industries include manufacturing, construction and petroleum exploration & production. I designed, created and implemented an entire database while maintaining daily operations for an emission testing company.
By converting data from outdated systems, I was able to streamline the data into useful information helping upper management to make informed decisions. Special projects have included analyzing IRS (Internal Revenue Service) correspondence providing the required documents during 3 corporate tax audits also while maintaining daily operations. I received my degree in accounting and graduated with honors.
I began my accounting journey in high school so I learned manual accounting prior to learning computerized accounting. Glitches in computer programs are more easily recognized because of this. I have worked with Quickbooks for many of the years I’ve been in accounting and can recognize potential problems as they arise. I have taken additional classes to enhance my job performance such as the Microsoft office products. I have taken beginning, intermediate and advanced classes in Excel, Word and Access. I also took multiple accounting classes such as The Controllers Workshop, Payroll Basics and Notary Law.
I also went to chamber of commerce forums on employee benefits as I also handled the human resources portion of the company. I am a very analytical accountant troubleshooting when necessary. Because of my extensive experience in accounting, I can step in to any industry and solve many accounting issues helping to grow the company I’m working with. My analytical nature, work ethics and passion for numbers has kept me in accounting all these years. I enjoy hiking and paddleboarding with my grown son. I enjoy being with my 2 amazing adult children. My husband of 40 years and I spend as much time as we can with our 2 amazing granddaughters. Family will always come first.
