IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Accounts Receivables Manager with an MBA in Finance and 9+ years of wing-to-wing AR expertise across billing, cash application, collections, deductions, disputes, and reconciling payments. I focus on reducing unapplied cash, researching missing or rejected funds, and collaborating across internal teams to apply payments timely and accurately.
In my current role, I ensure payments are accurately applied to minimize unapplied balances and resolve payment discrepancies with the cash application team. I drive collection efforts for past-due invoices, clear credit memos against deductions, investigate unauthorized deductions by requesting paybacks, and maintain a clean A/R ledger through timely dispute resolution.
Previously, I supported end-to-end AR operations through roles at Lupin, Wipro, Genpact, and Amazon, strengthening daily posting, misapplied/unidentified cash research, deductions validation, and reporting cadence (daily and monthly). I also contribute to process improvement testing, meet productivity goals, and support AR training for new joiners and refresher training for error processors—earning 4 Silver awards for target achievement without escalation.
