My expertise lies in managing high-volume invoice processing, payment reconciliation, and financial reporting. I have a proven track record of enhancing AP/AR efficiency and minimizing processing delays through streamlined workflows and compliance with regulatory standards.

Throughout my career, I have successfully resolved vendor discrepancies by analyzing aging reports and collaborating with internal teams. This has strengthened vendor relationships and significantly reduced overdue payments. I am recognized for my ability to implement process improvements that reduce billing errors and enhance financial controls, ensuring seamless transaction processing in fast-paced environments.
