Her proficiency in accounting, data analysis, and financial reporting provides the company and its clients with reliable insights critical to achieving their business goals. She excels at identifying trends, anomalies, and financial risks that facilitate informed and strategic decision-making.
Parks joined WPM in 2021 and has over 25 years of experience in accounting and financial leadership, with expertise in real estate, property management, and government compliance.
