Summary

Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure mid tier entry level position. Ready to help team achieve company goals.

With experience across multiple industries, I have utilized a variety of accounting platforms to capture and process financial data.

I have been involved in several system transitions, assisting with parallel entries, reconciliations, and troubleshooting workarounds to ensure smooth transitions and accurate data integrity.

As a well-rounded Accounts Receivable (A/R) and Accounts Payable (A/P) professional, I approach my role with an analytical mindset coupled with an understanding of accounting, billing, collections systems, and industry best practices while adhering to financial cycles and deadlines.

I take a proactive approach for optimal handling of customer accounts.

I have lived and worked and 3 countries providing me the opportunity to experience a wide variety social and cultural experiences and I have gained insight into various communication and management styles.

I am passionate about streamlining internal processes while maintaining positive, productive relationships with stakeholders and customers.

I am eager to explore new opportunities that will further expand my skillset, even if it means venturing into areas outside of my previous roles.

Confident in my ability to work autonomously, I also enjoy a collaborative team environment.

For the last several years I have enjoyed planned parental leave with my family and I am seeking opportunities to re-enter the workforce.
