What I'm looking for

I’m actively returning to the corporate workforce and seeking long-term opportunities in Finance, Accounting, and Accounts Payable.

At PepsiCo, I managed financial reporting and data integrity for a portfolio of 51 local and national distributors. I investigated reporting discrepancies and supported sales and business-unit teams during period-end close.

At PepsiCo, I also resolved more than 2,500 outstanding claims and maintained vendor tax and ACH records. I established new vendor accounts in SAP and coordinated reconciliation and payment-disbursement activities.

Across roles at MasterBrand Cabinets, Inc., Hanesbrands Inc., Reynolds American Inc., and Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corp., I processed invoices, reconciled accounts, and worked with vendors to resolve discrepancies. I’m now actively returning to the corporate workforce and seeking long-term opportunities in Finance, Accounting, and Accounts Payable.
