Aytaj Ibrahimli

I’m an analytical, detail-oriented R2R Accountant with 4 years’ experience in GL, close, reconciliations, and reporting, with hands-on process improvement and collaboration on automation initiatives. I focus on accurate, timely financial reporting while strengthening controls and improving efficiency.

In my most recent role as a Record to Report Analyst, I led automation tool integration for a month-end accrual process by defining business requirements and partnering with the automation team. I executed full-cycle month-end and year-end close for 30+ accounts in compliance with IFRS, reducing processing time by 60% (from 20 to 8 hours), and managed 50+ monthly balance sheet reconciliations in BlackLine to ensure timely discrepancy resolution.

I also drive continuous improvement through variance analysis, open item management, and audit readiness. I introduced an aging tracker to increase reconciliation frequency from quarterly to monthly and reduced >180-day aged items by 25% within 3 months, while developing structured SOPs and end-to-end process documentation to support audit walkthroughs and achieve zero major audit findings.
