What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in financial operations.

I am an experienced Treasury Associate with over 8 years of expertise in reconciliation, payments, cash management, and financial operations. My career has been marked by a commitment to improving processes and enhancing operational efficiency. Currently, I work at Publicis Groupe, where I manage payment authorizations and processing for both domestic and international wire transfers, ensuring accuracy and compliance in financial transactions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully reconciled bank accounts, developed innovative payment handling strategies, and supported cash forecasting processes. My previous roles at Incedo and Avantor have further honed my analytical skills, allowing me to streamline operations and implement data-driven strategies that significantly reduce turnaround times. I take pride in my ability to present findings and recommendations to management, contributing to informed decision-making and risk management.
