@aarifahmed
Confident accounts professional specializing in Accounts Payable and ERP-driven month-end support.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented accounts professional with hands-on experience in Accounts Payable, post-billing support, and ERP operations across BPO and retail environments.
At R.R. Donnelley I independently handle AP invoices from receipt to posting, perform 2-way and 3-way matching in SAP and Symphony Pro, and collaborate with Treasury, Sales, and finance to support timely payments and month-end close.
I played an active role in a Symphony-to-SAP full-cycle migration—supporting data checks, transaction testing, issue resolution, and post-migration stabilization—and have contributed to process improvements that reduced invoice turnaround times.
I am currently pursuing ACCA to strengthen my professional expertise and bring strong MS Excel, stakeholder communication, and SLA-focused process improvement skills to a finance team seeking accurate, efficient accounting operations.
