@natalieg
I am a senior accountant specializing in AR, electronic invoicing, and process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior accountant with extensive hands-on experience in accounts receivable, electronic invoicing, cash application, and reconciliations across Canadian and U.S. entities.
I partner closely with leadership to oversee daily accounting operations and supervise teams responsible for AR cash application and electronic invoicing portals. I also support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities including GL reconciliations and journal entries.
I have implemented internal controls, written SOPs, and onboarded customers to third-party processors such as Ariba, Coupa, and Tungsten. My work reduced ageing and improved cash flow while strengthening compliance and audit readiness.
I bring advanced ERP and systems expertise (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics AX, NetSuite, SAGE, JDE, AS400) and strong Excel and data-entry skills. I am motivated by process improvement, team coaching, and delivering accurate, timely financial information.
