I’m an AP/AR specialist with 7+ years of full-cycle invoice processing and reconciliation expertise.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable Specialist with 7+ years of full-cycle AP/AR experience across high-volume financial processing and ERP-driven workflows. I focus on accuracy and audit-ready documentation—especially through 3-way invoice matching, vendor reconciliations, and month-end close support.
In my current role, I process and verify 100+ vendor invoices weekly, ensuring correct GL coding, approvals, and on-time payments. I execute 3-way matching (PO, receiving documents, and invoices), reconcile vendor statements, resolve billing discrepancies with vendors and internal stakeholders, and maintain data in QuickBooks and Workday. I also prepare weekly check runs and ACH payment batches, and support month-end close with journal entry accruals, AP aging reports, and account reconciliations.
Earlier, I handled customer-facing billing and order operations, managing AR issues across multiple U.S. regions and supporting collections and customer account accuracy. I processed and validated 500+ orders weekly using SYSPRO ERP and SAP, translating cleanly to accurate AR records and timely invoicing. I worked through quoting, pricing verification, invoice tracking, and dispute resolution while collaborating cross-functionally to reduce days sales outstanding (DSO).
Before that, I managed full-cycle AP and AR functions and built Excel-based tracking for outstanding invoices, payments received, and aging balances. I bring a detail-first mindset developed through administrative and high-volume document/data responsibilities, so I’m comfortable owning processes end-to-end while keeping records organized and reconciliation-ready.
