Carlos Chaves
@carloschaves
Finance professional specializing in accounts receivable, forecasting, and BI reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a finance professional focused on accounts receivable and accounts payable operations, billing pipeline control, and reliable reconciliations. In my most recent role as Finance Associate at Codacy – Qamine Portugal, S.A., I optimized billing processes, performed AR entries and reconciliations, supported collection forecasting, and served as the finance point of contact for customer-facing teams.
Previously, as a Financial Analyst at InnoWave Technologies, S.A., I supported monthly P&L, budgeting and yearly processes, performed forecast & budget deviation analysis, and contributed to project management analysis and control. I also supported the development and updating of Power BI reports and provided analysis for supplier and customer teams.
Earlier, I built deep operational and systems experience for over a decade at Henrique Vieira & Filhos, S.A., including implementing PHC Management Software (with emphasis on the Accounting Module), preparing annual budgets with monthly follow-up, producing management maps, and handling bank reconciliations and loan/escrow controls. I’m methodical and responsibility-driven, and I continuously deepen my analytical skill set—through a Postgraduate in Data Science for Business and recent training in billing ops, SaaS analytics, and subscription/pricing topics.
