What I'm looking for

I want a finance operations role where I can lead process improvements, manage AP/payments, mentor colleagues, and deliver measurable efficiency gains in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am an MBA-qualified finance professional with extensive hands-on experience in accounts payable, reconciliations, and vendor management across multinational environments. I am confident, self-motivated, and known for independently solving complex challenges and streamlining workflows.

At West Control Solutions I maintain full ownership of the purchase ledger, lead process-improvement initiatives, and ensure timely supplier payments while reconciling inter-company balances at month end. I have led Kaizen projects to standardize credit note processing and delivered measurable reductions in cycle time.

I have driven operational projects including bank migration, multi-currency payment enablement, and legacy backlog cleanups, and I document standard work and train colleagues to ensure continuity. My technical toolkit includes SAP, Oracle (Omega), Sage 50, Tally ERP 9.0 and advanced MS Excel usage.

I seek roles where I can apply my initiative, leadership, and continuous-improvement mindset to drive operational excellence and add value to the business.
