What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior Accounts Operations/FinOps role where I can own AR/AP and reconciliation, run UAT for finance systems, and continuously improve processes to boost SLA/KPIs, cash flow, and accuracy with cross-region stakeholders.

I’m a results-driven Accounts Operations Specialist with 7+ years of experience across Accounts Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), and financial reconciliation. I focus on reducing AR aging, improving cash flow, and delivering 100% accuracy in transaction processing.

At Amazon, I lead finance operations by managing daily workflows and ensuring SLA adherence. I conduct UAT/PVT testing for new financial systems, drive issue resolution, and strengthen stakeholder communication across global teams while improving First Pass Yield (FPY%) and reducing reconciliation errors through process enhancements.

Earlier at WNS and in prior accounting roles, I owned end-to-end AR/AP processes, resolved invoice discrepancies, and supported reporting and audit preparation. I’ve also led UAT for OCR-based credit note automation and automated reporting to reduce turnaround time, earning multiple awards for operational excellence.
