Women in Technology: Meet Veronica

Marissa: Tell us your story on how you got into technology?

Veronica: Technology can really empower you to grow and advance in your field and I was attracted to a company that focuses on providing excellent service to their employees and customers and thought I’d try my hand at lending my 15+ years of Accounting experience to the Dataprise team.

Marissa: Did you always know that working in technology was what you wanted to do?

Veronica: Not really. But in my previous roles, the IT department was always very closely connected to the Accounting office; we both worked towards creating new ways to support the organization and provide efficient results.

Marissa: How long have you been with Dataprise? 

Veronica: Three months. 

Marissa: Can you share a little bit about what it is that you do and what a typical day for you is like?

Veronica: I’m the Accounting and Credit Manager and oversee the Accounts Receivable portion of our Accounting department while creating great services/processes within the billing department. A typical day is working hard to create a vision for the department that has a focus on accurate and efficient accounting related processes. I also build relationships with our clients while collecting revenue and approving credit.
