What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote or hybrid accounting role managing full-cycle AP, reconciliations, and month-end close where I can improve processes, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and contribute to accurate financial operations.

I am a detail-oriented accounting specialist with over 10 years' experience in accounts payable, reconciliations, billing, and month-end close across multiple entities and systems.

I was promoted to Accounting Specialist II after demonstrating initiative and strong performance, managing full-cycle AP across multiple LLCs with 2- and 3-way invoice matching and ACH/wire/check payments. I reconciled numerous bank accounts monthly and handled contract entry, customer billing, and invoice portal uploads (Ariba, Coupa, Payee Central).

I leverage ERP systems including Sage Intacct, Microsoft A/X, and QuickBooks to streamline workflows, prepare journal entries, and support month-end close and accruals. I also assist with audits, fixed asset tracking, and ad-hoc financial projects.

I excel working independently in remote settings and as a collaborative communicator who investigates discrepancies and improves processes. I bring attention to detail, reliable time management, and a commitment to delivering accurate financial operations.
