Julien Favre
Accounts Receivable Specialist | Credit Control & Cash Management
Alpina BioPharma SA
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Accounts Receivable Specialist position at Alpina BioPharma SA. With a solid background in credit control, cash application, and Swiss accounting standards, I have developed extensive experience managing complex receivables workflows and cross-border commercial transactions within multi-currency environments.
At HelveLogix Solutions SA, I oversee end-to-end accounts receivable operations for more than 180 corporate accounts across Switzerland, France, and Germany, covering CHF 4.2 million in monthly billings. Utilizing SAP S/4HANA, I handle daily bank reconciliations and automated cash matching across CHF, EUR, and USD accounts. Through refined reminder schedules, structured dispute resolution protocols, and targeted credit limit reviews, I reduced Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) from 48 to 36 days while maintaining constructive commercial relationships.
In addition, I co-led the integration of the Swiss QR-bill standard across 450 accounts, validating test payments in SAP alongside IT specialists to eliminate reconciliation discrepancies ahead of mandatory transition dates. Coupled with my Federal Diploma of Higher Education in Accounting and Controlling, this hands-on work has reinforced my ability to manage month-end subledger reconciliations, bad debt provisioning, and cross-functional dispute clearing with precision.
Alpina BioPharma's focus on structured financial operations and international distribution aligns closely with my professional strengths. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my credit management experience and SAP proficiency can support your finance team. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Julien Favre
