Abelardo Mars R. Demesa Iii

I am Abelardo Mars R. Demesa III, a highly experienced Accounts Payable Specialist with over 10 years of solid background in finance operations, particularly in vendor reconciliation, invoice processing, and payment management. My career has spanned across BPO and shared service industries, where I have provided financial support to clients in North America, primarily Canada, as well as in the Asia-Pacific region including Australia.

Over the years, I have developed deep expertise in managing the end-to-end Accounts Payable process—from validating and posting invoices, reconciling vendor statements, handling credit memos and payment discrepancies, to preparing payment runs through ACH, checks, and wire transfers. I have worked closely with supply chain teams, warehouse coordinators, buyers, and vendor representatives to ensure accuracy and timeliness in processing and resolving financial issues.

I am highly proficient in a range of ERP and accounting software including Oracle, JD Edwards, Impulse, SAP, QuickBooks Online (QBO), Airbase, and Xero. I am also a Xero Advisor Certified and QuickBooks ProAdvisor Level 1 Certified, which has helped me understand modern cloud-based systems and adopt automation tools that improve efficiency in financial workflows. I’ve also used tools like Google Sheets and Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP) for reporting and reconciliation tasks, and workflow tracking systems such as WFT (Workflow Tool) to monitor invoice statuses and aging reports.

I take pride in my strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to work independently with minimal supervision. My previous roles have also allowed me to mentor junior specialists and contribute to continuous improvement by suggesting process enhancements and system updates.

As a committed finance professional, I value accuracy, timeliness, and collaboration. I am currently looking for a work-from-home opportunity that allows me to apply my expertise while supporting my family and continuing to grow in the accounting field.
