I am a finance professional with 12 years of progressive experience leading Accounts Payable teams, driving process transitions, and ensuring accurate end-to-end invoice processing using Oracle Fusion and EBS. I have successfully transitioned AP processes, managed teams of associates, delivered timely payments, and provided forecasting and budget insights to senior leadership.

I excel at vendor reconciliation, 3-way match processing, EDI and ERS activities, and supporting audits while implementing Excel-driven analytical tools to improve forecasting and control.
