Professional Experience
Shannon started her career supporting a large manufacturing company, working in corporate accounting on mark to market accounting for hedge and derivative activities, preparing filings and intercompany eliminations. She then transitioned to an operating group responsible for centralizing all accounting functions for all plants. She was selected for the process improvement team to streamline all templates and close processing.
After obtaining her CPA license, she spent several years working in public accounting preparing individual and trust tax returns. She then entered the world of Deltek Costpoint, working at a not-for-profit. She was responsible for all general ledger and intercompany activities for four entities and creating standardized processes for these areas.
Then, she transitioned to the for-profit world, becoming the director of finance and accounting. She successfully led all financial, DCAA, NASA, and ERISA audits and was instrumental in obtaining a certified accounting system and preparing the annual incurred cost submissions. She also served as the SAAS admin, leading multiple successful Costpoint upgrades and reorganizations.
