What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own accounts payable accuracy end-to-end—reconciliations, invoice processing, and audit-ready internal controls—while improving workflows and automation to reduce errors and payment delays.

Accounts Payable Analyst/Specialist with 6 years of accounting experience, skilled in process improvement, detailed reconciliations, and month-end close support. I bring expertise in audit readiness and internal controls, with a strong background in mentoring staff and enhancing operational efficiency.

I’ve driven accuracy and compliance across AP workflows—verified vendor credentials, validated remittance details, handled invoice exceptions, and supported 2–3 way checks to resolve payment delays. Alongside AP, I’ve also contributed to tax operations as a Tax Professional/Accountant, supporting reliable filings and audit-ready documentation.
