What I'm looking for

I seek a finance/accounting role where I can apply my AR/AP and bookkeeping expertise, contribute to accurate reporting, support process improvements, and work within a collaborative, detail-oriented team.

I am an accounting professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience in accounts receivable, accounts payable, bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, and financial reporting.

I have managed daily receipts, ACH and lockbox processing, vendor invoice approval, check runs, and payroll-related processes while maintaining accurate records and supporting financial controls.

I restored and reconciled large outstanding receivables, prepared month-end balance reports, processed ACH/wire payments, and maintained AP/AR aging reports using QuickBooks, Yardi Voyager, Timesolv, Peachtree, and Microsoft Excel.

I communicate clearly with clients and internal stakeholders, prioritize timely collections and payments, and deliver reliable financial reports to support decision-making and operational continuity.
