Daniela Di Resta
@danieladiresta
I manage international order-to-cash operations, reducing aged debt and improving credit-control processes.
What I'm looking for
I've managed high-value, high-volume international receivables at Mott MacDonald, supporting 700+ accounts and ledgers averaging GBP 30 million. I handle reconciliations, overdue-account investigations, debtor reporting, forecasting and WIP monitoring while connecting Finance, Project teams and external stakeholders.
At Deliveroo, I managed the Italian AR ledger and reduced aged debt by 25% within 12 months through structured collections and detailed reconciliation. I also temporarily led the Credit Control team and partnered with Sales, Finance and Customer Support to resolve complex discrepancies.
Across consultancy, technology, travel and auction sectors, I've worked end to end across credit assessment, billing, cash application, direct debits, collections, disputes and reconciliation. I bring multilingual experience and practical systems knowledge to remote and hybrid international teams.
