It is my job to help secure your revenue and track your cash flow all the way to the bank. I bring strong expertise to collections, cash flow management, and accounting process workflows, all while maintaining excellent customer service and client relationships. I focus on creating practical credit policies that reduce late payments, minimize financial risk, and help you make informed decisions before extending credit to clients. Additionally, if your business requires alignment with FDCPA guidelines, I can design personalized collection templates tailored to your specific operations.
I have extensive experience working with CPG companies, including Walmart and other major retailers. This background allows me to efficiently manage and resolve chargebacks, disputes, and short-paid invoice deductions that impact your bottom line.
My background includes over ten years of full-cycle accounting experience with a specific focus on billing, software implementation, and credit balance management. I am certified to work with international clients, credit management, and risk analysis. Through my freelance experience across a wide variety of industries, I have developed techniques that successfully reduce DSO by up to 26 days in three months or less, a result that significantly stabilizes cash flow for small and mid-sized businesses. My primary expertise lies in supporting marketing agencies, IT and SaaS companies, and small law firms, allowing me to easily navigate the unique billing structures and client dynamics of these industries. Don't worry if you do not fall into one of these categories, if I am not the right person to help you I will get your resources or point you in the best direction for you.
Core Expertise:
Credit Management & Global Credit Policy
Debt Collection & FDCPA Compliance
Accounts Receivable & Efficient Invoicing
Accounting Automations & Workflow Implementation
Dispute Resolution & Deduction Management
GAAP Compliance & General Ledger Analysis
My favorite part of accounting is analyzing aging and risk reports and systematically resolving outstanding accounts. I oversee the entire invoicing lifecycle to ensure accuracy, confirmed receipt, and prompt payment. Every business relies on steady cash flow to grow, and my goal is to provide the financial infrastructure that supports that growth.
Beyond my daily consulting work, I have utilized my expertise to publish books on credit policies, debt collection practices, and accounts receivable strategies.
I offer strong analytical skills, particularly in financial reporting and general ledger reconciliation. My original professional background is rooted in customer service, and I am highly proficient in systems including NetSuite, Acumatica, Xero, QuickBooks, Clio, and Salesforce. If you are looking to implement AR automations such as AI driven billing reminders via ChatGPT, Zapier, or Make, but are unsure where to start, I can design and deploy those workflows for you. I am also fully fluent in productivity and specialized tools like Monday, Asana, Notion, Process Street, and Chaser. Using these strategies, I previously designed and executed management techniques that drove a 32% increase in company cash flow within a single year.
