What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance team where I can own full-cycle AP, improve invoice workflows with ERP automation, and partner on month-end close, reconciliations, and audit support while continuously streamlining documentation and processes.

I’m a Senior Accounts Payable Specialist with 6+ years of experience owning the full AP lifecycle in high-volume environments. I review and code invoices with an accounting lens—ensuring accurate expense classification, proper GL coding, and alignment with accruals and prepaid expenses. I’m also a go-to partner for vendors and internal teams, resolving discrepancies and inquiries efficiently.

I strengthen month-end close and audit readiness through accrual support, reconciliations, and proactive reporting to accounting and finance teams. I manage vendor relationships and onboarding within a procure-to-pay system, including credit applications and W-9 compliance, and I support the annual 1099 process to ensure accurate reporting and compliance. I monitor payment timing and adherence to vendor terms to support cash flow.

I’m known for driving continuous improvement through process improvement, workflow optimization, and ERP optimization. By configuring and training ERP system extensions, I’ve automated invoice posting to reduce manual entry and improve scalability, and I developed SOPs from scratch to increase documentation, training, and consistency across AP processes.
