@siddiqahmed
I lead AR/AP operations, ERP improvements, and month-end controls for a fast-paced cybersecurity company.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I lead a six-person AR/AP team at Cyderes, a cybersecurity company, overseeing daily operations, month-end close, reconciliations, collections, vendor payments, and team development across North America, the UK, and India.
I've helped design and test NetSuite workflows, connected NetSuite to Canadian banking for ACH payments, configured Concur for a 250-employee branch, and supported Ramp migration and integration. I focus on automation and application integrations that reduce workload and improve accuracy.
Across more than 10 years in receivables, payables, general accounting, tax, and financial controls, I've managed collections, credit risk, payment proposals, accruals, sales tax filings, VAT compliance, costing, and profitability analysis. I'm one ACCA exam away from affiliate status and am looking to keep learning and improving professionally.
