Accounting Assistant

I began my career as an Accounts Receivable Clerk in the FMCG industry, where I spent four years handling invoicing, collections, payment posting, and customer account management. One of my most significant achievements was conducting an account confirmation that uncovered a salesman misappropriating customer collections for personal use. Through careful investigation and reconciliation, I was able to identify the discrepancy and help protect the company's financial interests. I then joined a manufacturing and construction company as an Accounting Assistant – Accounts Receivable, where I managed the end-to-end accounts receivable process, including billing, invoicing, payment application, collections, overdue account follow-ups, and maintaining the AR ledger. I also worked closely with customers to resolve invoice disputes and ensure timely collections. One of my proudest accomplishments was successfully recovering a six-digit invoice that had been overdue for more than four years, along with the corresponding interest. This required persistence, strong communication, and effective negotiation, resulting in the recovery of revenue that had long been considered difficult to collect.
