What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance role focused on AR/credit control within a collaborative team where I can optimize processes, reduce receivables days, and support operational stakeholders.

I am an experienced accounting and travel professional with over a decade in accounting roles and 14+ years in travel and tour consultation, skilled in accounts receivable, credit control, reconciliations, and client liaison across hospitality and travel sectors. I consistently improve processes, create templates and spreadsheets, and lead collections and AR reporting to reduce risk and improve cash flow.

I have a strong operational background in tourism (hotel and inbound operations), experience with systems such as Opera, iScala and XERO, and have managed teams, training and handovers, audits, and complex reconciliations. I bring a proactive, detail-oriented approach and a record of delivering timely, accurate financial and client-service outcomes.
