Detail-oriented accounting professional with strong collections expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am an accomplished accounting professional with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Guelph, where I was recognized on the Dean's Honor List. My career has been marked by a commitment to accuracy and efficiency, particularly in accounts receivable and collections. At Trade-Mark Industrial Inc, I successfully managed the generation of over 75 invoices daily, ensuring timely billing and maintaining an accounts receivable aging report percentage between 9% and 15%. My ability to resolve client inquiries and discrepancies has consistently resulted in high levels of customer satisfaction.
Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set that includes proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, SAP, and QuickBooks. My experience as an Accounts Receivable Clerk at Culligan Water further honed my abilities in bank reconciliations and payment processing, where I effectively maintained collection goals and improved overall account performance. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about continuous learning, always seeking to enhance my skills and contribute positively to my team.
