Erin Ley, CPA

As a solid professional CPA, I hold strong management and accounting skills that can adapt to any industry. I have an ability to quickly assess and learn the accounting requirements applicable to a business or operation with an emphasis on understanding how the accounting and finance function can help the business make profitable decisions. My goal is to always bring efficiency to any job / position I approach - with good internal controls and accuracy at the forefront of that effort. I have worked a combined 10 years in public accounting at Ernst & Young, LLP as well as smaller regional Denver firm which has given me a firm grasp on GAAP and Technical accounting issues. I also have had experience in Healthcare, Data Systems, Project/Grant Accounting, Technical accounting, corporate accounting, small business consulting and have worked on several larger project accounting teams to help implement changes to the accounting systems to adapt to new initiatives for the various businesses I have worked with. I have extensive management experience in my positions at Great West, Aimbridge Leasing, Epsilon and Boulder Heavy Industries. In these roles I have or had worked with my teams to pursue continuous improvement in their positions and professionally reach beyond their current comfort levels through coaching and feedback.Key areas of expertise: ASC 606 Policy development and implementation - ASC 842 policy development and implementation including lease accounting software vetting, set up and testing - revenue recognition - SAAS - SOX Controls - Audit Prep - IC documentation - financial reporting - budgeting - accounting close - staff management - system testing for accounting software - accounting system setup - project management - streamlining/modernizing accounting operations for fast and effective reporting - Technical accounting policy and memo creation - Business combination accounting
