Melissa Davis

Melissa Davis is an accounting and operations professional with over 11 years of experience in accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, payroll, and financial administration. She is also Co-Owner of South Coast Sisters, LLC, a commercial and residential leasing company she operates with her sister, honoring her father’s legacy through the continuation of a part of the family business name. She most recently served as Lead Billing and Payroll Specialist at Service Transport Company, where she managed high-volume invoicing, payroll for complex logistics operations, and end-to-end billing processes. Her expertise spans contract billing, vendor negotiations, discrepancy resolution, and ERP-based financial systems, with a strong reputation for accuracy, efficiency, and process improvement in fast-paced environments.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Melissa expanded her professional experience through temporary assignments while balancing homeschooling her five children and continuing her accounting studies. Through Robert Half, she worked with the City of Galveston in Human Resources, gaining exposure to personnel records and public service operations, including collaboration with firefighters, police officers, and dispatch teams. She later accepted what began as a one-week logistics assignment that evolved into a five-year tenure, where she developed deep expertise in dispatch coordination, driver pay structures, rating, billing, and customer relations. Working closely with key mentors, including Ana Lozano and terminal manager Tom Hodges, she refined her understanding of transportation operations from the ground up. Melissa thrives in fast-paced, detail-heavy environments, where she is known for her adaptability, organization, and strong multitasking abilities. She attributes part of her success to her ability to manage complex workflows simultaneously and maintain structure across multiple responsibilities. Looking ahead, her long-term goal is to become a freight broker, building on her extensive logistics and billing experience to expand into brokerage and transportation management.
