Melanie Montgomery

I’m an MBA professional with a strong background in Accounts Payable, Data Analysis, and Research, specializing in AP cleanup and process optimization. With over a decade of experience in financial operations and business analysis, I bring a sharp eye for detail, a talent for solving discrepancies, and a commitment to improving efficiency and accuracy across AP workflows. I’m passionate about using data-driven insights to support decision-making and streamline operations.

Always open to collaboration, new challenges, and opportunities to add value.

I have over 8 years of experience in Accounts Payable, data analysis, and financial operations, with a strong focus on SAP FI/CO implementations, vendor master data cleanup, and UAT testing. I've worked across corporate, freelance, and contract roles, supporting both domestic and LATAM operations. My technical skills include SQL, Python, Power BI, and Excel, which I use to automate workflows, reduce errors, and build impactful dashboards.

I’ve identified high-value discrepancies, improved KPI visibility, and contributed to smoother ERP transitions by combining hands-on AP knowledge with data-driven solutions.

I hold an MBA with a focus on global management, which provided a solid foundation in finance, operations, and strategic decision-making. Building on that, I recently completed a Data Analysis certification from UT Austin, where I gained hands-on experience with tools such as Python, SQL, ML, and Power BI. This combination of business acumen and technical training allows me to bridge the gap between financial operations and data-driven insights, delivering practical solutions that support accuracy, efficiency, and informed decision-making.
