Finance senior analyst driving collections, credit, and AR automation to improve cash flow and KPIs.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance professional with 11+ years of experience helping organizations achieve business goals through my expertise in Accounts Receivable, Credit, and Collections. I bring strong analytical, automation, and stakeholder management skills to turn operational data into clear action for leadership.
In the last 3 years, I’ve delivered significant improvements in cash flow performance and operational efficiency by leading high-value portfolios, optimizing collection strategies, and driving process automation. I improved cash collections from 72% to 94%, reduced 90+ days past-due balances to record-low levels, and enhanced auto cash application rates from 62% to 87% through system and process improvements.
I’ve led teams and cross-functional transitions across global portfolios, including managing a team size of 12+ people. At Accenture, I achieved the lowest-ever 90+ days past due balance of $19.4M (from a previous best of $36M) and recovered $12M in invalid deductions in one year through persistent follow-ups and close collaboration with customers.
Across my roles, I run disciplined AR reporting and performance cadences—daily/weekly/monthly AR reporting, cash positioning, unapplied cash analysis, and AR health reviews—to protect DSO and strengthen customer outcomes. I’m at my best when I can combine stakeholder alignment with hands-on process automation to consistently outperform KPIs.
