Senior finance and accounting analyst who leads record-to-report close and reconciliation for global teams.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance and accounting professional with 10 years of experience supporting end-to-end record-to-report processes. I’m knowledgeable in GAAP, the accounting cycle, journal entries, account reconciliation, and financial statements, with a strong focus on accuracy and timely month-end close deliverables.
In my current role as a Record to Report Senior Analyst–Jr. Team Lead, I lead teams supporting Australian real estate and ensure timely, accurate close activities using Yardi Voyager. I oversee day-to-day workload management, delegation, and deadline tracking, and I review journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations in Blackline to resolve reconciling items.
I’ve also led the Purchased Services team for a North America healthcare client as a Senior Analyst–Jr. Team Lead. As an SME, I coach team members, identify training needs, and drive continuous improvement while monitoring operational metrics and preparing Group Reporting Pack variance analysis and commentary.
Earlier in my career, I strengthened my foundation through hands-on work in ERP-driven accounting and bookkeeping. From processing AP transactions and SAP ERP invoice entry to teaching Fundamentals of Accounting, I bring a service mindset, strong communication, and practical problem-solving that helps teams meet a constant stream of deadlines.
