What I'm looking for

I seek a senior AP/finance role where I can lead process improvements, mentor teams, manage ERP initiatives, and ensure accurate, compliant financial operations.

I am a seasoned Accounts Payable leader with over 15 years overseeing AP operations, ERP implementations, and high-performing teams.

I established a new AP department at my current employer, implemented policies and procedures, and managed processing up to 400 invoices per pay period while ensuring timely payments and confidentiality on sensitive items.

I collaborate closely with senior leadership and the CFO on vendor aging, CapEx initiatives, corporate card programs, and month-end close contributions; I also support audit requests and ensure data integrity and compliance.

I bring hands-on experience across multiple ERPs and accounting systems, strong vendor relations, and a focus on process improvement, efficiency, and accurate financial reporting.
