What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values process improvement and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Finance Specialist with over 7 years of experience supporting multinational and service-based companies. My expertise lies in accounts receivable and collections, end-to-end billing, and multi-currency cash application. I have a proven track record of leading AR process setup, improving collection cycles, and reducing unapplied cash. My analytical skills enable me to prepare and analyze financial reports, including Balance Sheets and Profit & Loss statements, while managing month-end closings effectively.

Throughout my career, I have successfully reduced overdue receivables by over $500K in one quarter and decreased unapplied cash balances by approximately 80% within six months. I am proficient in financial tools such as NetSuite, Xero, and QuickBooks, and I possess strong skills in budgeting, variance analysis, and financial workflow optimization. My collaborative and detail-oriented approach ensures compliance and continuous process improvement.
