What I'm looking for
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.
