What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my accounts payable, reconciliation, vendor payment, compliance, and process-improvement experience in a financial operations role after my planned maternity career break.

I've managed end-to-end invoice processing at Alcon Laboratories India for Italy, Spain, and Portugal, including PO, non-PO, utility, rebate, fleet, customs duty, debit memo, credit memo, and withholding-tax invoices. I supported the AppZen transition for Spain and Portugal, completed monthly vendor reconciliations, and earned Ownership & Accountability Champion recognition for 100% customer satisfaction in the Italy region.

Across roles at Hitachi Energy Technology Services and Arthur J. Gallagher, I've handled payment processing, vendor management, account reconciliations, audit support, reporting, escalations, and process improvements. I bring seven years of accounts payable experience, SAP and Advanced MS Office skills, and a record of process optimization that reduced processing time by 20%.
