Sandi Tylicki began in the Bookkeeping/Accounting Industry right out of High School – when it was done by hand in ledgers with a pencil and eraser – without a computer. Adding machines were popular instead of calculators!
Her career was started in a one-girl office that gave her the ability to see and handle all aspects of an office environment from the front desk, answering the phones, greeting customers and the secretarial aspects, along with the bookkeeping functions – Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, etc. responsibilities. As computers starting making their way into offices, she set up various accounting programs and implemented them for offices she worked for.

Over the years, she did accounting in many environments: for Construction – Contractors and Subcontractors – the Hospitality Industry, Medical Environments, Government Entities, Wholesale Distributors – with many different computer accounting programs. She relates well to Vendors and Customers and has a friendly attitude and gets things done in a timely manner.
Sandi has lived in the Louisiana area for the last 22 years after raising her 3 daughters in Ohio while attending college and establishing her accounting career. She has managed her accounting duties for out of state locations via the Internet, Telephone and the U.S. Mail.
One of her finest attributes is that she is a quick learner and is open to learning new skills and incorporating the ones she has already obtained into her work. She is highly motivated and believes strongly in the work ethic. Accuracy is her motto and she has a strong attention to detail.
