About Ankit Saxena

As an accounts specialist, I apply my 14+ years of accounting expertise to accounts payable/receivable, month-end closing activities, negotiations, and general ledger functions. I am certified in Microsoft Office and Power BI and use these tools to analyze, report, and optimize financial data and processes.I have successfully introduced and implemented AP automation solutions that resulted in a 50% reduction in processing time, a 22% decrease in error rate, and a 30% cutback in redundant steps. I communicate effectively with external parties to resolve account issues, maintain inter-company loan schedules, and perform bank and credit card reconciliations. Additionally, I lead and mentor accounting teams, providing feedback and support through weekly 1:1 sessions. My goal is to help the accounting department run smoothly, transparently, and profitably, and to contribute to the company\'s growth and success.
