What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in AP/P2P or procurement where I can drive automation, strengthen controls, mentor teams, and partner across Finance, IT and Treasury to improve accuracy and efficiency.

I am an energetic, strategic and accredited Accounts Payable Manager with over 30 years of experience across gaming, government, IT, real estate, food and beverage, retail and construction.

I direct shared-services AP and procurement teams, handling staffing, mentoring, SOPs and KPIs while implementing P2P automation and system improvements using tools such as Oracle, JD Edwards, YellowDog and Knowledglake. I control timely payment processing — checks, wires, ACH, foreign exchange — and manage annual tax filings including 1099 and 1042/945/592 reports.

I partner with Treasury, IT, Procurement and external auditors to ensure SOX and regulatory compliance and to meet month-end, quarter-end and year-end deadlines. I focus on process improvement, automation and cross-functional collaboration to reduce risk, improve accuracy and drive measurable efficiencies.
