What I'm looking for

I am seeking an international opportunity in a higher position to lead a team and finance operations.

I am a finance and accounting professional with over nine years of experience in multinational environments. My expertise lies in supporting international reporting under IFRS and US GAAP, managing month-end close processes, and handling intercompany transactions. I have a proven ability to build financial controls from scratch, implement ERP systems like SAP S/4HANA and Oracle, and lead process automation using tools such as Power BI and VBA.

Throughout my career, I have been responsible for payroll analysis, financial statement preparation, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. I have successfully implemented new controls for payroll reconciliation, accounts payable, and revenue recognition processes. My experience spans across cross-border operations in the Americas, where I have collaborated with various stakeholders to enhance financial processes and reporting accuracy.
