What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a shared-services finance leadership role owning R2R/GL close, SLA/KPI delivery, and strong controls. I want to lead teams, drive continuous improvement with Six Sigma, and deliver measurable process outcomes.

I’m a finance and accounting professional with 11+ years of experience across Record-to-Report (R2R), General Ledger, and financial close in large-scale shared services environments. I’ve consistently delivered measurable outcomes, including an 80% reduction in balance sheet open items (count) and a 94% reduction by value through Six Sigma.

I lead end-to-end R2R and close cycles for US and Nordic portfolios—owning journal entries, BS reconciliations, intercompany accounting, fixed assets, and month/quarter/year-end deliverables. I also maintain 100% SLA and KPI adherence across reporting periods, including “zero missed deadlines over 3+ years.”

I’m a people manager and ASC 606-certified professional who supports both performance and control excellence. As a certified Training Facilitator, I’ve onboarded and upskilled 100+ accounting professionals, while strengthening Common Minimum Controls (CMCs), FMEAs, and BCP planning—backed by hands-on tools expertise in SAP, Yardi Voyager, and Agresso.
