What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where my AR depth improves cash application accuracy, GAAP-ready reporting, and dispute resolution. I want to standardize processes with strong SOPs, support multi-site operations, and deliver insights leadership can act on.

I’m a driven Accounts Receivable & Billing leader known for accuracy, analytical rigor, and financial clarity that helps leadership make better decisions. I bring deep AR expertise across cash application, billing operations, collections, reconciliations, and audit-ready reporting.

In my current role as Accounts Receivable & Billing Manager, I manage AR and billing for a multi-million-dollar, multi-site waste and recycling organization. I analyze bank activity, perform GL reconciliations, prepare journal entries, and ensure GAAP-compliant documentation while leading resolution of escalated customer payment issues.

I also focus heavily on process improvement and standardization. I implemented SOPs to standardize AR and billing across 8 hauling sites and 4 landfills, conduct on-site training visits, and support acquisitions and operational transitions—strengthening consistency and reducing discrepancies.

Previously, I served as an Accounts Payable/Receivable Specialist and an Accounting Manager, handling high-volume invoicing and sales receipts, reconciling multiple credit card and bank accounts, supporting monthly close, and managing multi-state tax filings. Early in my career as an AR Lead, I supervised 8–10 AR staff, maintained GAAP compliance, and supported financial reporting workflows—building the systems mindset I still use today.
