What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a fully remote role where I can own purchase ledger/AP processing, manage BACS/CHAPS payments, and drive ERP (Dynamics 365 Business Central) process improvements, training, and accurate month-end close.

I’m a Finance Systems / Purchase Ledger Specialist with 8+ years’ experience delivering ERP implementation (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central), AP process improvement, and payment operations across multi-system environments. I focus on streamlining processes and strengthening multi-system financial management.

I’ve managed end-to-end purchase ledger activity, including invoice processing, bank reconciliation, general ledger posting, and month-end closing. I support BACS/CHAPS payment runs (including foreign currency payments), handle supplier statements and cash reconciliation, and work with KYC and supplier vetting to uphold financial controls and compliance.

In ERP transition work, I’ve supported selection, testing (UAT), data migration, and go-live—helping align AP processes with business requirements and improving system adoption. I’ve also built and tested finance functionality within Business Central to ensure the purchase ledger process fit the company’s needs, while maintaining parallel system accuracy during cutover.

I bring a practical, service-focused mindset: I resolve supplier disputes efficiently, manage shared finance inboxes, and deliver user training on ERP updates and finance best practices. I also provide audit support and document management, using advanced Excel and KPI reporting to bring clarity to performance and improve decision-making.
