What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and a collaborative work environment.

I am an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist with a proven track record in managing supplier invoices and ensuring timely payments. My role at Valterous LTD/Therapie Clinic involved obtaining and posting supplier invoices accurately, managing direct debits, and maintaining strong relationships with the Procurement team. I pride myself on my ability to meet key performance indicators and contribute to the overall efficiency of financial operations.

Previously, I worked as a Procure-To-Pay Specialist at IBM Business Services, where I resolved invoice and purchase order issues effectively. My experience at Mustard Seed Systems Corporation and JEASteel Industries further honed my skills in invoice processing, vendor management, and reconciliation of accounts. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and have a strong commitment to operational excellence.
