What I'm looking for
I’m an Accounts Receivable professional with 9+ years of experience driving end-to-end AR operations—billing, collections, cash application, account reconciliation, and customer dispute resolution. I focus on reducing outstanding receivables while strengthening process accuracy and compliance.
Across SaaS, Healthcare, IT Services, and Shared Services environments, I’ve owned AR aging and collections reporting, coordinated follow-ups to minimize bad debt, and supported month-end close with reliable reconciliations. I’m comfortable investigating billing discrepancies and aligning with internal teams to resolve issues within SLA timelines.
I bring hands-on expertise with Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft Excel, including daily customer ledger reconciliation, bank statement review, and tagging incoming receipts correctly. I also handle AR-related QA, audit/check activities, and investigation of unapplied cash and remittance discrepancies.
My impact is reflected in recognition including being awarded 4 times “Employee of the Month” and receiving “Best Team” awards. I continually improve workflows, guide new joiners, and deliver clear MIS reporting that helps leadership see risk, trends, and collection priorities.
