@kcpandanan
Accounts Payable professional in Japan-focused shared services, driving accurate invoice processing and automation for global teams.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Accounts Payable specialist with over 10 years of experience across business, healthcare, and BPO environments, and a strong track record supporting Japan-focused operations. I validate vendor invoices in InvoiceTrack (IVT), perform 2-way and 3-way matching of invoices, Purchase Orders (PO), and Goods Receipts (GR), and ensure accuracy before transferring documents to SAP for posting. I investigate and resolve invoice discrepancies, system errors, and blocked documents while generating and reviewing AP operational reports and reconciling vendor and balance sheet accounts.
I also bring an automation and continuous-improvement mindset. I’ve improved IVT validation rules to increase straight-through processing, supported OCR scanning accuracy through validation logic (AIScanRobo), and used tools like Oracle Cloud, ServiceNow, EDI, Incorta, and Power BI to deliver timely reporting and service-level outcomes. Across roles (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable/OTC, and customer support), I focus on precision, compliance, and collaboration—especially when working with international clients, controllers, and cross-functional teams.
