About

Professional summary

I am a finance and operations professional with solid experience and high motivation. I focus on efficiently directing daily operations and leading company strategy while supervising all functions and ensuring compliance with established goals.

I have specialized knowledge in optimizing processes, reducing costs, and maximizing profitability. I am known for my leadership ability and for bringing out the best in each employee through clear direction and team supervision.

My background combines accounting, administration, financial control, and operational management. I have led financial teams, coordinated accounting activities, and supported decision-making through KPI tracking, budgeting, and reporting.

I have also worked extensively in tax advisory, software implementation, and process improvement. This has allowed me to support companies in strengthening internal controls, improving information management, and increasing operational efficiency.

In my most recent role, I have been responsible for financial statements, monthly and annual closings, collections, invoicing, and the supervision of financial activities. I also present profit and margin results to leadership and help implement cost-reduction strategies.

Earlier in my career, I managed administrative and operational functions, advised companies on accounting software, and supported tax compliance and accounting reconstruction projects. I bring a practical, hands-on approach to business management and financial leadership.
