Gaurav Chopra
@gauravchopra
Finance operations specialist focused on AR/AP, billing accuracy, and cash-flow optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a finance professional with 10+ years of global experience managing full-cycle Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, billing, and credit administration across retail and pharmaceutical distribution. I’m known for invoice processing, high-volume billing, reconciliations, and credit evaluations—backed by strong cash flow optimization and DSO reduction.
In my current role as a Senior Finance Operations & Order-to-Cash (O2C) Specialist, I handle end-to-end AR: credit evaluations, billing validation, portal invoicing, cash application, reconciliations, and collections follow-up. I monitor AR aging and resolve overdue accounts, contributing to a 15% reduction in delinquency, and I’ve supported month-end close with aging reports and billing performance tracking.
I’ve also improved turnaround and accuracy through automation and process rigor—accelerating credit approvals by 30% and maintaining 99% billing accuracy for specialized billing processes. Earlier, as an AR & Collections Manager and AR Supervisor/Team Lead, I led teams, reported to the CEO, reduced bad debt write-offs by 70%, and implemented process improvements that cut manual AR/AP tasks by 70% while increasing productivity by 70%.
