About Andrea

I help companies bring their accounts payable (AP) process up to date: invoices, vendor management, bank reconciliation, and reporting, without the need to hire someone full-time.
With over 7 years of experience in AP —from SMEs to multinationals— I know how to quickly identify where the problem lies: lost invoices, time-consuming manual processes, delayed payments.
In my last role, a consulting client ended up entrusting me with all vendor management because their internal team couldn't meet deadlines.
I work on both recurring day-to-day management (invoice processing, payments, reconciliations, monthly closing) and specific projects: initial diagnosis of your current process, clearing accumulated backlogs, or implementing improvements in the approval flow.
