@miriampreite
I’m an Administrative Manager and accountant who streamline finance operations and improve business performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic, highly organised Administrative Manager with more than 11 years of international experience across Australia and Italy. I lead complex administrative departments in the food, wine, and import-export industries, with a consistent focus on excellence and high professional standards.
My core strength is full-cycle accounting and financial planning, including accounts payable and receivable, regulatory compliance, profit & loss analysis, treasury management, and cash flow optimisation. I manage comprehensive GL work (prima nota), prepare financial plans, draft financial statements, and run bank reconciliations while monitoring customer collections and conducting audits.
I also bring strong ERP agility and technical depth—proficient with SAP (FI/CO), Xero, and MYOB, and highly proactive in mastering new environments like SAGE X3 for complex GL setups, intercompany reconciliations, and month-end closings. Alongside traditional finance operations, I integrate AI-driven workflow automation to accelerate administrative drafting and reporting with accuracy and speed.
