@elainetan
Senior accounts payable and finance operations analyst delivering accurate, compliant global payment and month-end close processes.
What I'm looking for
I’m an accounting professional with 12+ years of experience supporting global finance operations across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. I focus on accounts payable, month-end close, reconciliations, expense management, and international payments across multi-entity environments.
In my recent role as a Senior Accounts Payable Analyst for Global Finance Operations, I managed full-cycle accounts payable and employee expenses for multiple global entities. I processed invoice payments, tax payments, VAT refunds, customer refunds, ACH payments, and wire transfers, while handling corporate and virtual card programs with strong compliance to internal controls and policies.
I’m also known for delivering accurate, compliant, and efficient financial operations in fast-paced settings. From supporting AP-to-GL and intercompany reconciliations to audit support and process improvement initiatives, I continuously strengthen efficiency and accuracy across month-end close and reporting.
