What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote position that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a proactive and accountable finance professional with over 7 years of experience in accounts receivable and reconciliation. My career has been marked by a strong sense of ownership and exceptional analytical skills, allowing me to maintain accurate financial records while fostering effective relationships with stakeholders.

Currently, I serve as a Billing Supervisor at Fueling Brains Academy, where I manage 2000 accounts, oversee billing operations, and ensure compliance with government requirements. My previous roles at PepsiCo and Core Adult Learning Center have honed my abilities in financial reporting, analysis, and customer relations, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
