What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role combining HR administration and finance responsibilities in a collaborative company that values compliance, process improvement and clear career growth.

I am an experienced HR and finance professional with a strong track record in workforce administration, AP/AR, payroll and office accounting across multinational and government environments. I have managed onboarding, compliance checks, vendor reconciliations, and timekeeping processes while supporting managers and stakeholders.

My background includes roles as Workforce Administrator, AP/AR Junior, Administrative Clerk, HR Manager and Senior Accountant where I improved process accuracy, reconciled financial records, and supervised teams. I consistently delivered timely financial closes, controlled budgets, and maintained employee records and compliance documentation.

I bring practical systems experience with SAP, QuickBooks, Microsoft Office and multiple enterprise tools plus proven cross-cultural adaptability from assignments in Romania, Iraq, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and elsewhere. I seek to apply my combined HR and finance expertise to improve operational efficiency and compliance.
