I'm currently an Accounting Manager at UpCounting, bringing over 10 years of cross-border finance and accounting experience supporting U.S. and Argentine companies.

Across freelance finance engagements and Floria Group, I've owned end-to-end monthly close for multiple U.S. entities, built cash flow forecasting models, processed multi-state payroll, and delivered analysis for executive decisions.

At Avature, I led finance process and data initiatives, managed annual SOC I audits for AP, AR, and banking with zero findings, and automated sales-commission workflows, dashboards, and controls.

Earlier, I improved vendor payment tracking to 99% accuracy and reduced processing time by 75%, while strengthening cash flow forecasting and accounting operations. I bring a data-driven approach backed by certifications in Python, R, Financial Analysis, and Business Analytics.
