What I'm looking for

Seeking a broader finance role with opportunities for growth and development

As a seasoned accounting professional with over five years of experience in handling accounts payables and treasury operations, I have developed a strong track record of ensuring accuracy and compliance. My expertise in streamlining treasury processes and reducing outstanding payables has resulted in significant time and cost savings for my previous employers.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams, leading a 6-member team and collaborating with internal and external auditors to ensure compliance with state and federal laws. My experience in managing various AP areas, such as PO and Non-PO invoice processing, has equipped me with the skills to provide excellent customer service and resolve disputes with accounts payable.

I am eager to transition into a broader finance role where I can apply my experience in payables while learning more about other aspects of finance. I am particularly interested in roles that involve financial analysis, budgeting, and strategic planning. With my strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in computer applications, I am confident in my ability to make a valuable contribution to any organization.
