What I'm looking for

I seek a senior Accounts Payable role in a collaborative, globally-focused company where I can lead payments and process improvements, drive finance system implementations, mentor colleagues, and deliver accurate, timely global payment operations.

I am an Accounts Payable specialist with 10 years' experience supporting global companies and currently operate as a senior member of my team. I own end-to-end AP processes for multiple international entities, manage bi-weekly expense and weekly vendor payment runs, and ensure prompt, accurate invoice processing across diverse systems.

I have led finance system testing and implementations (including Coupa), driven process improvements, and built strong cross-functional relationships—earning internal recognition for my readiness to assist. I prioritise tight month-end deadlines, banking controls, reconciliations and mentoring colleagues to improve payment performance.
