What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-oriented finance role where I can lead AP operations, implement automation, improve processes, mentor staff, and collaborate cross-functionally to enhance accuracy and cash flow visibility.

I am an experienced accounts payable professional with a track record of leading AP teams, implementing automation tools, and managing large vendor portfolios to improve efficiency and accuracy. I have supervised AP functions across multiple companies, led training for staff, and driven successful platform migrations and reporting improvements.

My background includes managing thousands of vendor accounts, negotiating terms, performing reconciliations, and developing AP policies and workflows that reduced manual effort and increased visibility into cash flow. I bring strong communication, process-improvement focus, and hands-on experience with ERP and accounting systems to support cross-functional goals.
