What I'm looking for

I want to keep running shared services and AP/finance operations where I can standardize processes, automate invoice-to-payment work, strengthen internal controls, and improve month-end close and service levels across divisions.

I’ve been leading shared services operations at MetalTek International, covering Accounts Payable, Payroll, Cash Application, Expense Reporting, and the General Ledger. I direct day-to-day service delivery, manage and develop shared services staff, and run continuous improvement projects to reduce manual effort and improve service quality.

Before that, I owned end-to-end AP operations at MetalTek International as an AP Supervisor, standardizing workflows across divisions and driving automation in invoice processing, approvals, and payment execution. Earlier roles included full-cycle AP and month-end work for four divisions as a Senior Accountant, plus AP/AR and reporting support at Independence Corrugated.
