Accounts Payable professional with leadership experience and ERP expertise.
What I'm looking for
With over five years of experience in financial operations, I have honed my skills as an Accounts Payable professional, excelling in full-cycle AP, vendor management, and compliance. My journey has taken me through various roles, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to enhance AP workflows and ensure adherence to policies. Currently, I serve as a Compensation Analyst and AP Lead Support at Kraton Corporation, where I oversee AP functions and lead initiatives to streamline reimbursement workflows.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in ERP systems, particularly NetSuite, and I am familiar with Ramp. My analytical skills and Excel expertise, including VLOOKUP and Pivot Tables, have enabled me to contribute significantly to month-end closes and audit preparations. I take pride in maintaining positive vendor relationships and addressing inquiries promptly, ensuring smooth operations and compliance with IRS regulations.
I am passionate about leveraging my experience to support financial teams and drive operational efficiency. My leadership experience during company reorganizations has equipped me with the ability to train and support incoming staff, fostering a collaborative environment that prioritizes accuracy and compliance.
