What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can manage multi-unit finance operations, drive cost optimization, strengthen financial controls, recover receivables, and improve processes through disciplined reporting and team leadership.

I’m a finance and operations professional with more than 10 years of experience, progressing from Finance Assistant to Financial Analyst, Financial Controller, and Finance Manager. I’ve led finance teams supporting the financial operations of more than 50 hotel properties across Brazil, with hands-on ownership of accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash flow, and management reporting.

In my most recent role, I recovered approximately BRL 2.5 million in lost or mismatched reservation receivables and reduced costs by approximately 28%. I’m driven by process improvement—updating financial routines and controls to prevent delays and incorrect payments—and by partnering with clients, hotel units, suppliers, managers, and internal stakeholders to keep records accurate and decisions well-informed.
