What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead AR/collections efforts, reduce DSO, resolve escalations, and implement process improvements within a collaborative, data-driven finance team.

I am an Accounts Receivable & Collections Specialist with 10+ years managing multi-million-dollar portfolios, leading collections teams, and streamlining credit, billing, and cash-application processes. I founded and operate a digital advertising business while delivering measurable reductions in past-due balances, improving DSO, and reconciling complex accounts for large B2B customers.

I excel at stakeholder engagement, dispute resolution, and credit-risk evaluation, having partnered with A/P, procurement, and executive leadership across North America and beyond. I bring hands-on experience with ERP and CRM systems, team leadership, and data-driven process improvements that protect revenue and accelerate collections.
