Senior cash collections and AR leader optimizing cash flow, cutting DSO, and scaling SAP-driven operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cash Collections and Account Receivable Senior Manager with over six years of proven success optimizing cash flow, reducing DSO, and implementing efficient AR strategies. I bring hands-on strength in financial reporting, team leadership, and leveraging ERP systems like SAP and GFP to improve operational efficiency and financial control.
At British Telecoms Group in São Paulo, I implemented workable cash collection processes that reduced DSO by 70% within the first year as a Collections/AR Manager. I also oversaw multinational AR operations across Latin America and Europe, ensuring compliance with financial policies, while collaborating with finance leadership to forecast and manage global cash flow.
I led a team of analysts to improve customer payment timelines and accuracy, and I built foundations earlier as a Cash Collection and Account Receivable Analyst by supporting AR reconciliation, billing accuracy, and payment posting for corporate clients. I also assisted in migrating AR functions to SAP, improving system reporting accuracy, and regularly provided monthly financial reports and variance analysis for senior management.
