Finance, Accounting & Continuous Improvement Professional
About Me
I am a results-driven finance, accounting, and continuous improvement professional with more than 15 years of leadership experience in multinational shared-service and corporate environments.
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.
