My background includes period-end close, record-to-report (R2R), fixed assets, general ledger, intercompany accounting, tax reconciliations, and FP&A-related support. I have worked extensively to improve financial processes, strengthen compliance, and increase data accuracy. I have led automation and process-improvement initiatives using Lean Six Sigma, Excel macros, scripts, RPA concepts, and standardized reconciliation tools. These efforts have helped reduce closing cycles, minimize manual work, and improve reporting quality. I am experienced with ERP and finance tools such as SAP, Oracle, and Blackline, and I have supported financial reporting under IFRS and US GAAP. I also have a strong track record of collaborating with global and regional stakeholders across LATAM operations. Throughout my career, I have contributed to finance transformation efforts, built KPI dashboards, and supported audit readiness and governance. I enjoy working on projects that combine accounting expertise with operational excellence and measurable business impact. I am trilingual in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and I hold certifications in Lean Six Sigma, Scrum, change management, project management, and operational excellence. I bring a practical, analytical, and improvement-focused mindset to every role I take on. ## Professional area ### [Finance & Accounting](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/accounting-finance.md)[Management & Operations](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/management.md)[Teacher & Coach](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/teaching.md) ## Skills ### [Automation](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/automation.md)[Change Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/change-management.md)[Compliance](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/compliance.md)[Oracle](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/oracle.md)[Process Improvement](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/process-improvement.md)[Project Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/project-management.md)[SAP](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/sap.md)[Stakeholder Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/stakeholder-management.md) ## Education Expected 2025 Licenciatura in Public Accounting @ Universidad Santa Lucía 2019 Bachelor in Administration (Accounting) @ Universidad de las Ciencias y el Arte 2006 Technical Diploma in Cost Accounting @ Colegio Técnico Profesional de Flores ## Experience Jul 2020 - Present Period End Close Senior Analyst & Project Enable Analyst @ Roche Led continuous-improvement projects to reduce the period-end close cycle; implemented automation solutions across accounting processes; managed account reconciliations across LATAM entities using Blackline; developed KPI dashboards; collaborated with global stakeholders on finance transformation initiatives; supported project execution and business acumen development.
