What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an accounting role where I can own accurate AR/AP processes, reconciliations, compliance, reporting, and cash controls while continuing to grow across ERP systems and international finance environments.

I've owned end-to-end accounts receivable and payable at Gourmet Foods International, matching receipts, running supplier payments, and reconciling bank and general ledger balances to keep cash tied to bank.

Across accounting roles in international logistics, project-based operations, and freelance work, I've improved collections, reduced costs, prepared statutory returns, supported audits, and strengthened financial controls using QuickBooks Online, ERP systems, and advanced Excel.
