   With 18 years of accounting experience across large corporations and boutique firms, I bring a strong track record of implementing and optimizing systems, processes, and controls. I have contributed to the development of comprehensive policies and procedures and have successfully managed teams across Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Travel & Expense functions. I thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments and remain committed to continuous learning and adopting new approaches.My experience includes monthly, quarterly, and annual accounting; managing invoice processing for 13 entities, over vendors, and approximately 3,500 invoices monthly; reviewing and approving PO-based invoices; auditing Travel & Expense reports and reimbursements for 14 entities across 10 countries, supporting more than employees, 1,500+ cardholders, and four card programs; and managing global travel programs with three Travel Management Companies. I also support third-party reporting, process mapping, business and management reporting, internal and external audits, DEI initiatives, and mentorship programs.I excel at identifying automation opportunities that enhance efficiency and reduce risk. I am dedicated to implementing controls that minimize redundancies and errors while leveraging reporting to understand behaviors and inform effective decision-making.I believe strong leadership goes beyond management. True leadership means guiding teams, fostering collaboration, shaping culture, driving innovation, and investing in talent through learning and growth opportunities that help employees recognize their value and perform at their best.At Mizuho, I progressed from a consulting role to full-time employment with expanded responsibilities, culminating in a promotion.
