Áurea Santiago

I’m an Implementation Specialist with an accounting background (UFRJ) and solid experience across finance and accounting. Over four years, I’ve worked in FP&A, controllership, accounts receivable and payable, bank reconciliation, and document issuance like tax notes (NFs), invoices, and billing documents.

In my current role with PI3.AI at Simetrik, I focus on implementing Fintech/SaaS solutions and optimizing financial workflows to drive system adoption. I follow internal project methodologies, support discovery sessions, and take ownership of translating As-Is requirements into To-Be solution designs and controls.

I also contribute deep data and integration capabilities: analyzing and cleansing client databases, defining reconciliation rules, and ensuring accurate matching between client records and acquirer data. I partner with technical integration teams by providing requirements and standard requests for data ingestion via APIs or SFTP in cloud environments (AWS and Azure).

Beyond implementation, I’ve supported billing and cash flow processes as well as project financial control—monitoring financial performance, reviewing expense documentation, preparing reports, supporting audits, and delivering training sessions. I’m currently strengthening my analytics toolkit with Advanced Excel and Power BI, building expertise in data modeling, SQL, DAX, and Power Query to improve decision-making and reporting.
