What I'm looking for
I am an accounts payable specialist with over four years of experience in the accounting field. My journey began with a Bachelor of Accounting and Economics from Mumbai University, India, and has since evolved into a robust career in accounts payable management. I have a proven track record of processing various types of accounts payable transactions accurately and efficiently, ensuring timely payments and maintaining strong vendor relationships.
Currently, I work at the YMCA of San Diego County, where I manage the input of accounts payable invoices and ensure compliance with organizational policies. My previous roles have equipped me with hands-on experience in utilizing accounting software, including Yardi and QuickBooks, and I am proficient in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to meet month-end closing deadlines while providing exceptional organizational skills.
