What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AP role where I can own vendor accounts, keep aging reports clean, and run accurate payment processes in SAP. I want a team that values controls, clear communication, and continuous process improvement.

I’m an Accounts Payable Specialist with 4+ years of hands-on full-cycle AP experience in fast-paced corporate environments. I own vendor accounts end to end—from invoice receipt and GL coding through 3-way matching, approvals, payment runs, and month-end close—so nothing falls through the cracks.

In my current role, I manage a large vendor base in SAP, run weekly payment batches across ACH, wire, and check, and flag anything that looks off before it leaves. I also maintain vendor master data (new vendor setup, W-9 collection, banking verification, payment terms, and tax classification) to support accurate year-end 1099 reporting.

Previously, I processed high-volume invoices daily, kept accuracy tight during spikes, and strengthened controls by catching overpayments through statement reconciliations and payment history cross-checks. I also helped finance leadership with AP aging reports and cash flow forecasting, and I reworked invoice intake and approval handoffs to reduce bottlenecks and shorten time to payment.

Before AP, I built a strong customer-focused troubleshooting foundation in billing and support roles using Zendesk and Salesforce Service Cloud. Whether reconciling account balances, processing adjustments, or resolving billing discrepancies, I’ve consistently focused on root cause—so issues don’t keep coming back.
