## About

```text
At OpenText (formerly Micro Focus), I lead Procure-to-Pay and Accounts Payable operations with a team of five. I improved invoice processing turnaround time by 30% through process optimization.

I manage the AP lifecycle, from invoice processing and payments to vendor reconciliation and month-end accruals. I also support close activities, cash forecasting, and audit compliance.

At MICRO FOCUS - BANGALORE, I managed vendor data and invoice processing in Ariba and NetSuite, prepared KPI reports, and resolved vendor queries. I also completed a six-month cross-team training and learning program in employee expense management.

Earlier, at BC Shetty and Co, deployed at Micro Focus Software Solutions India Pvt. Ltd., I processed vendor data and invoices in SAP. Across my AP work, I achieved 99% invoice accuracy and 100% SLA compliance, and reduced aged invoices by 40%.
