Sheetal Thakur
@sheetalthakur1
Financial analyst specializing in FP&A, AR/AP operations, and real-time dashboards that improve cash-flow visibility and controls.
What I'm looking for
I’m a finance professional with 4+ years spanning FP&A, AR/AP operations, and financial reporting across aviation and global shared-service environments. I bring measurable results from day one—reducing overdue receivables by 18%, cutting AP cycle times by 20%, and building automated dashboards for leadership visibility into cash flow, DSO, and credit exposure.
In my current role as Finance Analyst – Accounts Receivable, I own end-to-end AR operations, financial controls, receivable forecasting, and FP&A support during month-end close. I maintain 100% subledger–GL reconciliation accuracy and reduced overdue AR and unresolved items by 18% through structured variance analysis and proactive credit control coordination.
Previously, as an Accounts Payable Analyst at Johnson Controls, I handled high-volume, multi-currency AP processing for 15+ EMEA regions. I processed 2,900+ monthly invoices with 100% accuracy, prevented duplicate and erroneous payments through enhanced validation controls, and improved AP cycle efficiency by 20% via targeted automation and SOP redesign.
I’m also comfortable diagnosing root causes others overlook and designing solutions that scale. With hands-on experience in Oracle Fusion, SAP S4/HANA, Power BI, Excel, and SQL, I focus on process automation, internal controls, and decision-ready MIS that helps teams move faster while closing books accurately and on time.
