What I'm looking for

Accounting roles emphasizing AP/AR and reconciliations in organizations valuing accuracy, process improvement, team collaboration, and audit-ready financials.

Accounting professional with over 15 years of progressive experience across accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and month- and year-end close support. I have a strong working knowledge of GAAP and SOX internal control compliance, advanced Excel and ERP skills, and a reputation for accuracy, reliability, and delivering management-level accounting and specialized reporting.

Throughout my career I have led and improved AP operations, eliminated significant backlogs, reconciled multi-entity accounts, and implemented process improvements that saved costs and improved reporting accuracy. I consistently support audit readiness, train and develop staff, and optimize ERP data and reporting to provide clearer financial insights for stakeholders.
