What I'm looking for

Seeking to work with a company whose values align with mine, promoting a healthy work-life balance and opportunities for growth and development.

As a seasoned finance expert, I have a proven track record of driving efficiency and identifying areas for improvement. With expertise in Accounts Payable (AP) and AP solutions, I have successfully implemented four AP systems to streamline and automate processes. My proficiency in time study analysis has enabled me to create tangible and visible efficiencies within functions. I am skilled in team supervision, staff development, and compliance management across multiple entities.

Throughout my career, I have supervised teams ranging from 3 to 25 members across various entities, initiated and led Shared Services in AP, and developed and implemented systems and training staff. I am adept at managing balance sheet reconciliations, conducting thorough clean-ups of age analysis and financial records, and addressing and resolving queries and handling staff performance issues effectively.

I am a results-driven professional with a strong focus on increasing efficiency and reducing costs. I am proficient in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and have experience with financial analysis and reporting, budgeting and forecasting, and financial compliance and audit.
