What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated accounting professional with over ten years of experience in full-cycle accounts payable. My journey in the field has equipped me with a robust skill set, including high-volume invoice processing, vendor relations, and meticulous attention to detail. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to delivering accurate financial information.

Currently, I work as a Payment Specialist at Acuity Brands Lighting, where I review claims for accuracy and compliance, ensuring that all contractor documents are processed efficiently. My previous roles have honed my abilities in tax consulting and accounts payable, where I have consistently demonstrated my problem-solving skills and organizational prowess.

With a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and a certification in Accounting, I am well-prepared to contribute to any team. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to enhance financial operations and foster strong vendor relationships.
