Ashok Kumar — Operations Associate
Finance Operations professional with 10+ years of experience across Accounts Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), and end-to-end Order-to-Cash (O2C) and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) processes within global shared services environments. I have worked with organizations such as The Economist Group, Wood Plc., Gartner, EXL Services, and Provana, supporting subscription-based, project-based, and enterprise billing models across multiple geographies.Currently managing a $40M+ multi-entity billing portfolio, I consistently deliver >98% invoice accuracy while driving DSO reduction by 18% and improving cash flow through structured collections, dispute resolution, and revenue governance. I have reduced credit/rebill volumes by 25% and improved billing efficiency by ~30–35% through automation and process standardization initiatives. My experience spans the full invoice-to-cash lifecycle, including revenue recognition (IFRS 15), contract validation, cash application, reconciliation, and audit support, along with Procure-to-Pay exposure covering vendor management, invoice processing, and payment execution within SOX-compliant frameworks. I bring strong expertise in process transformation, having led cross-border transitions with zero business disruption, implemented KPI-driven governance models, and enhanced reporting visibility through dashboarding. With hands-on experience in Oracle R12, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, PeopleSoft, and Salesforce, I leverage systems and data to drive accuracy, control, and scalability. I thrive in cross-functional environments, partnering with Finance, Sales, and Operations teams to strengthen revenue operations, optimize working capital, and deliver measurable business impact.
