At Smart & Final – Chedraui, I handled month-, quarter-, and year-end close processes for rebate and revenue accounts, including accruals and cash journal entries in SAP S/4 Hana.

I reconciled general ledger accounts totaling $15M+ in income and managed rebate billing, invoicing, and collections. I also worked with AP, AR, and business unit leaders to improve rebate calculation processes.

At Herbalife Nutrition, I directed multi-stream revenue reconciliations using a three-way match across bank, GL, and processor data. I managed cash flow reporting and month-end reconciliations, and prepared audit schedules for year-end reviews.

Earlier, I worked in accounting roles at Cingular Staffing Inc., Income & Tax CPA Office, and Signet Jewelers – Jared the Galleria of Jewelry. My experience includes multi-entity reporting, bookkeeping, financial statements, payroll processing, and GL reconciliations.
