What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an Order-to-Cash/AR role where I can reduce DSO, strengthen credit risk controls, and automate workflows—while collaborating with Sales, Finance, and IT in a global shared-services environment with clear ownership and growth.

I’m a result-driven Order-to-Cash (O2C) finance professional with 10+ years of progressive experience across Accounts Receivable, Credit Control, Billing, and Collections Management in global shared service environments. I combine analytical thinking with a strong process-ownership mindset to keep financial operations accurate and resilient.

I lead end-to-end AR lifecycle management—billing operations, invoice processing, dispute resolution, collections, reconciliation, and DSO reduction. I drive working capital efficiency through overdue recovery, credit risk management, and structured escalation handling, including customer credit limit assessment and order release governance based on financial risk evaluation.

I’m known for delivering process transformation and automation initiatives that reduce manual intervention and improve scalability. Highlights include automating credit limit steps to streamline turnaround time and improving AR governance through stronger collections tracking, escalation discipline, and reporting accuracy.

I also bring audit-readiness and control experience—supporting month-end/year-end reconciliations, balance confirmations, and internal/external audits with clear documentation. I enjoy partnering with cross-functional teams across finance, sales, and IT, and I’ve led and developed teams by standardizing SOPs, coaching, and onboarding to improve operational outcomes.
