What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior finance/accounting role in R2R and AP where I can own IC reconciliations and month-end close, collaborate with auditors, and drive process improvements using SAP/automation while maintaining strong controls and documentation.

I am a finance and accounting professional with 8+ years of experience across Record-to-Report (R2R), inter-company (IC) reconciliation, and accounts payable accounting in shared-services and BPO-style back-office environments. I confirm IC balances, post clearing journals, perform monthly AP-GL reconciliations and accruals, and resolve outstanding vendor and inter-company differences through proactive investigation.

I strengthen month-end close accuracy with detailed pre-close review of postings (cost centers, PCC, VAT codes), and I support internal and external audits by preparing reconciliations and documentation, including Big 4 auditor support during M&A due diligence. I also led Procure-to-Pay automation by implementing SAP Ariba, trained and mentored teammates on P2P and reconciliation procedures, and maintained up-to-date process documentation to improve efficiency and compliance.
