What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my billing, accounts receivable, reconciliation, and automation experience in a role where I can improve cash flow, data accuracy, and scalable finance operations.

At City Permit, I manage milestone-based invoicing averaging $100K per month, validate contract terms, and resolve client billing questions and disputes.

I reconcile billing data across QuickBooks, Stripe, and Pipedrive, using Python and SQL to flag discrepancies before invoices are issued. I also automated AR aging, sales-commission billing, and reporting workflows for 10+ staff.

I improved cash flow by 15% and reduced the unpaid invoice rate to 1.8% by reconciling more than $200K in open invoices. I maintain audit-ready documentation for escalated collections and bring bilingual English/Spanish client communication experience.
