What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a cash application/AR role where I can lead a small team, streamline payment and reconciliation processes, support month-end close, work with international payments, and drive process improvements in a collaborative finance environment.

I am a cash management professional with over eight years of experience in cash applications, accounts receivable, and financial operations. I focus on accuracy, deadline-driven month-end and year-end close contributions, and clear communication across teams.

I have hands-on experience posting credit card, check, wire, ACH and lockbox payments, managing intercompany transfers, reconciling accounts, and producing monthly reports to maintain balance sheet integrity. I supported development and testing of an online payment portal and provided technical and audit support.

I have managed and trained cash application teams, supervised daily cash receipt processing, resolved application discrepancies, and ensured departmental processing requirements were met. I routinely coordinated with credit collections, AR analysts, AP teams, and international banks to solve complex payment issues.

I am detail-oriented, a rapid learner, and driven to streamline financial workflows and improve reconciliation processes. I bring strong organizational skills, experience with multiple payment systems and ERPs, and a problem-solving mindset to support reliable cash application operations.
