Experience
Peggy has experience in corporate and nonprofit accounting and finance, ranging from journal entries and bank reconciliations to management of a complex fiscal year-end close process with accruals and deferrals. She has developed budgets for both large ($5 million) and small ($130K) programs. She knows that when it comes to accounting and finance, details and accuracy matter.
She also taught students how to budget and track expenses when they find themselves responsible for managing money on their own for the first time. Peggy provided personal finance training to international students who participated in summer enrichment programs and were traveling in the U.S. while managing a stipend for their living expenses. Topics included creating a budget, managing expenses, paying with cash vs. debit card vs. credit card, and foreign currency transactions, among others.
