What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can be the operational bridge between finance and execution—owning global payments, payroll, reporting, and process improvement—while partnering closely with clients and internal teams to reduce cost and improve efficiency.

I am a highly organized, detail-oriented Business Operations and Finance Specialist with nearly four years of progressive experience driving efficiency across finance, administration, and essential technical support functions. My primary focus is acting as a seamless operational bridge—ensuring a company’s financial health and daily execution stay perfectly aligned.

I manage international and domestic accounts, oversee global payment workflows through PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, and Stripe, and ensure payroll processing is accurate and compliant for both local and remote teams. I use QuickBooks to maintain precise accounts, track expenses, and generate financial and administrative reports that directly support management decision-making.

Beyond transactions, I streamline workflows, coordinate complex projects across departments, and strengthen vendor and client relationships through strong documentation. With a foundation in core accounting and reporting, I help businesses reduce costs, save time, and stay firmly on track with strategic goals.
