Developed modules included Bank Statement Reporting, Cash Forecasting, Payment Processing, Check Issuance Reporting, Debt Management, Market Rate Reporting, and Accounting for cash entries as well as debt.• Participated on the global Volvo business team that issued a banking request for proposal and re-negotiated our contract with the selected core bank.• Created, managed, documented, and performed a sophisticated matching process to determine funding needs for eighteen entity/operating sectors managed in multiple sub-ledgers. Funding was originally performed in arrears, but as interest rates began to increase, I implemented a model for forward-borrowing using three-month forwards, thereby reducing interest and liquidity risk and increasing profitability. • Handled monthly accounting and reconciliation of general ledger entries for interest expense; daily principal changes in commercial paper instruments, long-term fixed and floating debt, interest rate swaps, and cash pool movement; and interest accruals for a $2.5 billion debt portfolio in the North American region. Aside from rounding differences, all accounts reconciled perfectly under my supervision, versus substantial variances that had previously existed.• Created a pro-forma revenue model used in the financial planning and analysis budget, requiring the conversion of cash-based income data into accrual-based data for numerous product types (mortgages, loans, finance leases, and operating leases).
