About

Bridging finance, technology, and operations at global scale.

I'm a finance transformation and operations professional with 6+ years across global shared services, working at the intersection of finance, technology, and operations.

My work blends SAP-based finance process deployment — C2C/O2B, master data governance, UAT, data migration, and process documentation in SAP Signavio — with data analytics and intelligent automation built to cut cycle times and surface root causes.

I hold a Master's in Business Intelligence & Big Data and an AI for Digital Business specialization from INCAE, and I'm a peer-reviewed IEEE author in applied machine learning.

What I Can Do For Your Business

Where I create measurable value for finance teams.

If your finance operations are slow, error-prone, or buried in manual work, I help you fix the root cause — not just the symptoms. Here's where I create measurable value:

  • Speed up your finance processes

    I redesign and standardize end-to-end finance workflows (procure-to-pay, billing, intercompany) on SAP, cutting processing time and removing bottlenecks. In one program, I brought invoice processing down from 3 days to 1.

  • Cut errors and rework

    Through master data governance, root-cause analysis, and cleaner process design, I reduce the queries and exceptions that drain your team's time. I've taken query rates from 40% down to 11%, and from 36% to 17% on high-volume accounts.

  • Automate the manual work

    I deploy AI-enabled OCR and workflow automation so your team stops re-keying data and chasing approvals. One automation expanded data capture from 5 to 36 fields.

  • Get more from your existing team

    Using process analytics and capability planning, I find where capacity is lost and redeploy it — delivering a 20% productivity gain in two months across a 250+ person operation, freeing 10 FTEs.

  • Make decisions with real data

    I build KPI frameworks, dashboards, and predictive models (I'm a peer-reviewed IEEE author in applied machine learning) so leadership sees what's happening and what's coming next.

Not sure where the biggest opportunity is? That's often the first thing I help clients find.

Case Studies

Evidence of impact across automation, operations, and analytics.

Automation · OCR
67%faster processing

AI-Powered Invoice Automation

Challenge
Manual invoice handling limited to 5 extracted fields, 3-day processing, and 40% query rate.
Action
Deployed AI-driven OCR with workflow rules; expanded extraction to 36 fields and re-engineered exception handling.
Result
Processing time cut from 3 days to 1, query rate reduced from 40% to 11%.
Operations · 250+ FTEs
+20%productivity gain

Operational Productivity Turnaround

Challenge
A 250+ person operation with flat throughput and limited visibility into the drivers of inefficiency.
Action
Launched 18 targeted initiatives across process, tooling, and team rituals over a two-month sprint.
Result
20% productivity improvement, enabling redeployment of 10 FTEs to higher-value work.
Root-Cause Analytics
−50%vendor queries

Vendor Query Reduction

Challenge
Persistently high vendor query rates on key accounts driving rework and tense supplier relationships.
Action
Ran root-cause analysis on query taxonomy and upstream master-data quality; fixed the top contributors.
Result
Query rates dropped from 36% → 17% and 27% → 9% on the targeted accounts.
IEEE · Peer-Reviewed Publication

"Predicting the Incidence of Dengue in Costa Rica Using a Decision Tree Model Based on Climatic and Socioeconomic Variables."

Publisher: IEEE, 2022Author: Álvaro Soto B.

Peer-reviewed IEEE publication applying machine learning to predict disease incidence from complex, multi-source climatic and socioeconomic data — demonstrating end-to-end predictive modeling on real-world datasets.

Same applied rigor I bring to enterprise finance data: clean pipelines, defensible features, and models that hold up outside the training set.
