@iulianitu
I lead Accounts Payable process transformation, driving SOX-ready, KPI-driven excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a degree-educated finance professional with 8+ years of expertise driving measurable business outcomes across Accounts Payable, financial accounting, and business partner operations. I scale and lead operational teams by stabilizing high-volume processes, executing migrations, and mitigating compliance risks in strict accordance with SOX requirements.
As Team Lead Accounts Payable at Garrett Bucharest, I direct operational activities and inbound volume strategy for the AP team, while driving process standardization and automation through RPA and system enhancements across the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) cycle. I design and maintain MOR reporting for senior leadership, enforce SOX and KPI standards, build RCCA culture to remove recurring blockages, and oversee team performance, hiring, onboarding, and succession planning. I’m also a Certified Six Sigma Green Belt, using structured problem-solving to deliver automation, improve working capital, and strengthen control effectiveness.
