ROBERT J. DOLE VA MEDICAL CENTER

I led a small group of top notch accountants, budget analysts, and payroll experts as CFO of this organization.

I will always appreciate the opportunities, growth, and powerful sense of mission I experienced working for the VA.

Financial Manager

I was asked to lead the Dole VA supply chain service in December of 2017.

3 of the service's greatest achievements during my time in this role:

We scored in the top 5 in the country for our customer service.

The service reduced supply spend by 28%. Through spend analysis coupled with increased focus on inventory management principles and collaboration with vendors, we reduced spend drastically which allowed freed up resources to be allocated elsewhere as needed for Veteran care.

We did not run out of supplies including PPE for medical staff during the darkest days of the COVID pandemic for hospital supply chains. Leadership, great staff, including a very collaborative medical staff, and community support was crucial for this achievement.

Chief Supply Chain Officer

The Prosthetics service at the VA not only provides artificial limbs to Veterans, it is responsible for the management and issue to Veterans of all devices needed to assist Veterans to live as functionally as possible. This includes electric wheelchairs, wheelchair vans, orthotic shoes, canes, scooters, surgical implants and so much more. 

The service was unique in that it was a Veteran facing service with its Prosthetics and orthotics clinics and also a supply chain service managing and providing Prosthetic items.

Some of the service's greatest achievements during my time in this role:

Established a Prosthetics clinic. We recruited and retained a very talented Prosthetist who hit the ground running. Amputee Veterans now have an option right there at the Wichita VA for their artificial limb care and maintenance. 

Reduced average days before action was taken on a prosthetics consult dramatically. This was a big one for customer service and getting the Veteran's needs taken care of timely.

Prosthetics Chief

This was my first leadership role at VA. 

I learned quite a bit about managing and leading during this time.

Assistant Financial Manager

This was my introduction to fiscal management at the VA. 

What an eye opener! I learned so much from my boss and colleagues about how the fiscal system at the VA works.

Accountant

BKD CPAs & Advisors

I did primarily tax work but also a little auditing. 

The people I worked with at BKD were among the smartest and most driven professionals I have ever met. They were also among the nicest. Everyone was always so gracious and patient with their time no matter how many hours they had worked that week.  I will always be grateful for that and all that I learned in my short time at the firm.

Staff Accountant

United States Air Force

One of the best decisions I have made was to join the Air Force.

I learned to be disciplined. I gained a sense of direction. I learned how important it was to contribute to a team to achieve a mission that could never be achieved by just one person. I am forever thankful to the Air Force and the skills, lessons, and friends I gained during my time in service.

Airman

82% of small or medium businesses fail due to cash flow mismanagement.



That's an intimidating stat!

But...

What if your business doesn't mismanage cash flow? Well, that decreases failure risk dramatically!

Many small business owners mismanage their cash by:

•	Not worrying about their books until the end of the year

•	Treating bookkeeping as an easy and cheap commodity 

•	Not reviewing financial performance at least monthly

•	Not budgeting and reviewing differences to expected

•	Not forecasting cash flow

Many of these business owners are stressed.

They hope they will be able to continue to afford staff

They wonder if they will ever get out of debt

They cross their fingers that the bank will approve financing

They dream about being able to pay themselves one day


But some business owners do it differently!

They make sure their books are updated monthly

A competent and caring pro does the books

Financial performance is reviewed monthly

They budget and track variances

They forecast their cash flows. 

They take action!

Based on the insights provided by their financials, budget and cash flow analysis, they make moves that set them up for success in their business, cash reserves in the bank, and peace of mind in their lives!

If you are a small business owner that would like to have rock solid bookkeeping, budgeting and variance analysis, and cash flow forecasting services, you have three options:

1. DM me to learn more
2. Email me at ryan@kittrellklaskincpa.com
3. Check out our business website. There are tons of free resources to get you started.
