About

Professional summary

I am a hands-on finance and accounting professional with more than five years of experience in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, treasury, and finance operations. I have supported international, multi-entity environments across France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland.

I manage high-volume invoice processing, three-way matching, payment runs, down-payments, cash application, reconciliations, aged debtors, accruals, and month-end close activities. I am experienced in investigating discrepancies and ensuring accurate, compliant financial records.

I have advanced working exposure to SAP and VIM, with strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office tools. I use systems and data carefully to maintain process compliance, meet SLAs, and support audit-ready documentation.

I work effectively with Procurement, treasury, customers, suppliers, and cross-functional stakeholders to resolve invoice, payment, purchase-order, and account-related issues. I take ownership of cases through resolution and communicate clearly with internal and external partners.

I have also trained junior analysts, supported SOX controls and internal audits, and contributed to improving PO compliance. My background in customer service, technical support, and administration complements my finance expertise with strong problem-solving and stakeholder-management skills.

I am fluent in French and English, with upper-intermediate Spanish, and I am based in Barcelona, Spain. I am seeking a senior finance and accounting opportunity focused on AP, AR, P2P, treasury, or finance operations.
