About Kara

Led simultaneous NetSuite and Salesforce go-live. Served as a client-side team lead (not the implementation partner) on the full replacement of ERP and CRM systems for an organization with ~$700M in annual revenue and $1.1B in consolidated net assets. Held the team to complete user acceptance testing and led them to a successful go-live of both systems at the same time.
Cut the monthly close from 45 days to 10 days (78% faster). Designed and implemented a new revenue estimation methodology that let the company close its books on a predictable, accelerated timeline. Additional close acceleration quick wins were also implemented to help with the close timeline acceleration.
Reduced a client's chart of accounts from 1,000+ to 257 (~74% reduction). Redesigned and consolidated the GL structure in NetSuite, migrated historical activity through GL migration entries, and built an item master mapped to the new structure.
Scaled FloQast close automation for PE-backed clients, including a 450+ entity deployment. As FloQast Implementation SME, configured the full module suite and built a scoping framework to estimate implementation hours. Contributed to the Company being named FloQast AI Partner of the Year (2025) and Emerging New Partner of the Year (2024).
