Accounts Payable / P2P analyst with 10 years' global finance operations experience.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an Accounts Payable and Procure-to-Pay professional with 10 years of experience in global finance operations, specializing in vendor master data standardization, invoice processing, payments, reconciliations, and month-end close across shared services environments. I have strong hands-on expertise in SAP MM, Oracle, NetSuite, Zoho, and advanced Excel reporting, and I am known for high accuracy, clear SOP documentation, and effective cross-time-zone stakeholder coordination.
After a planned caregiving career break, during which I maintained relevance via freelance finance support and upskilling in Excel, Power BI basics, and AI productivity tools, I am fully prepared to re-enter finance operations roles. My track record includes reducing duplicate payments through PO-based controls, standardizing global vendor master processes, delivering training, and consistently meeting SLA and audit requirements.
