What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote or hybrid finance role that allows for strategic impact and growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated Accounts Payable Manager with over 9 years of experience in financial operations, specializing in process optimization, team leadership, and cross-functional collaboration. My expertise lies in managing high-volume transactions, reducing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), and improving cash flow. I am certified in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365F&O) and have a strong track record with SAP, Oracle, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite.

Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to streamline accounts payable and receivable processes, enhance financial reporting, and lead multinational teams. I have successfully reduced DSO, cleared invoice backlogs, and automated workflows, resulting in significant improvements in cash flow and operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to make a strategic impact in a remote or hybrid finance role.
