With extensive expertise in accounting processes such as procure-to-pay (P2P), order-to-cash (O2C), and record-to-report (R2R), I advise on process improvements and best practices. My primary responsibility involves managing enhancement requests and working with multiple finance groups worldwide, with a focus on Europe.
