What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead AR and credit operations, improve collections processes, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow into higher-responsibility finance roles within a supportive, process-driven team.

I am a finance and credit control specialist with 5+ years of focused experience in accounts receivable, credit management, dispute resolution, and financial reporting across IT, logistics, and engineering sectors.

I have a proven track record of improving collection efficiency, maintaining healthy cash flow, implementing process improvements, and using SAP and ERP tools to drive accurate reporting and streamline AR operations. I have negotiated payment plans, managed medium-to-large portfolios, and reduced overdue balances through proactive follow-up and cross-functional collaboration.

I am recognized for professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive problem-solving, and I have been awarded internal recognition for consistent operational support and reliable execution of Customer-to-Cash activities.
