What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Accounting and Operations professional with 15+ years of experience across oil & gas, financial services, and corporate environments. I’m known for general ledger accounting, reconciliations, financial reporting & analysis, and quickly identifying discrepancies to mitigate risk and strengthen internal controls.
In my current role as a Transition SME / Trade Spend Analyst, I support knowledge transfer and continuity of accounting operations while executing SOX controls, preparing journal entries, and validating contract terms for accurate financial system setup and reporting. Previously, as an Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable Specialist and Financial Analyst, I managed full-cycle AP/AR and month-end close, resolved billing and contract disputes, and improved process accuracy through automation and continuous improvement.
