Financial Operations Specialist automating bookkeeping with QuickBooks, Bill.com, and AI to accelerate month-end close.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Financial Operations Specialist with a proven track record of managing end-to-end bookkeeping, AP/AR, and vendor relations in high-volume environments. I bridge traditional accounting practices with cutting-edge technology by integrating ERP systems (QuickBooks, Bill.com) and advanced AI workflows (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT).
In my most recent role at Hotel Presidential (Port Harcourt, Nigeria), I managed daily AP/AR workflows for complex multi-vendor invoicing, audited purchase orders, and tracked contract compliances to secure timely collections. I also led daily and monthly bank statement reconciliations, drastically minimizing balance sheet errors with audit-ready financial summaries.
I strengthen the process further through AI-enhanced workflow automation: using prompt engineering to convert raw operational notes into clean ledger entries, standardizing Excel tracking with AI validation logic, and drafting high-stakes vendor dispute and debt collection correspondence. Earlier, at Alibaba Group (Hangzhou, China), I supported cross-border commercial operations through high-accuracy data management and structured monthly reporting in a fast-paced Fortune 500 environment.
