What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values process improvement and offers growth opportunities.

I am a detail-oriented CPA candidate with over 5 years of experience in full-cycle accounting, specializing in accounts payable and receivable, invoice processing, financial reconciliations, and customer service. My proven ability to reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and resolve invoice disputes through research and negotiation has significantly enhanced cash flow in my previous roles.

Currently, I serve as an Accounts Receivable Coordinator at FGF Brands Inc., where I manage a $10M+ AR portfolio and utilize tools like NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Power BI to analyze discrepancies and generate actionable insights. My proactive approach to account management has led to a 25% reduction in average collection time, showcasing my commitment to improving financial operations and stakeholder engagement.

With a strong educational background, including a B.Sc. in Accounting and a Postgraduate Certificate in HR Management, I am well-equipped to contribute to any organization. I am passionate about process improvement and data accuracy, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where collaboration and communication are key to success.
