What I'm looking for
I am a finance and accounting professional with over 10 years of experience, specializing in enhancing operational efficiency and financial management.

Additionally, I successfully implemented SAP Business One, an enterprise resource planning software, streamlining financial operations. My experience spans various roles, from Accounts Payable Specialist to Finance Manager, where I have consistently prioritized effective communication and customer service.
I am detail-oriented and proactive, always seeking to improve processes and resolve conflicts constructively.
