What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a challenging accounting role where I can use my Sydney-based expertise to improve operational efficiency and financial accuracy, strengthen internal controls, and optimize end-to-end AP and Purchase-to-Pay processes.

I’m an Accounts Payable Team Leader with over 5 years (+61) of experience, including 3 years as an Accounts Payable Processor and 4 years leading AP teams. I manage the end-to-end AP process for multiple entities, ensuring timely, accurate invoice processing and payments while resolving discrepancies with vendors.

In my current role, I lead end-to-end Accounts Payable operations across 14 legal entities, driving process standardization, KPI improvements, internal controls, and Purchase-to-Pay transformation initiatives. I manage invoice reviewing, approvals, payment runs, and vendor relationship management—then partner with the finance department on month-end closing, reporting, and reconciliations.

I’m recognized for problem-solving, accuracy, and decision-making, including leading AP operations across 42 legal entities and developing a team of 16 AP professionals. I also improve performance through KPI monitoring and continuous process optimization, and I support automation and reporting using tools like SAP, Oracle, Excel, and Power BI.
