What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and a collaborative work environment.

I am a detail-oriented and proactive Account Specialist with over 5 years of experience in managing accounts payable and financial processes in both non-profit and corporate finance environments. My expertise lies in ensuring that financial transactions are accurately recorded, reconciled, and processed in a timely manner. I have a proven track record of handling complex accounts payable functions, maintaining vendor records, and preparing comprehensive financial reports.

Currently, I work with grant programs, including ERA2 and VA Per Diem, where I review and verify invoices, process payments, and maintain accurate records for audit purposes. My strong communication skills enable me to resolve discrepancies and negotiate favorable payment terms with vendors. I am committed to streamlining processes and ensuring financial integrity within dynamic organizations, making me a valuable asset to any team.
