What I'm looking for

I seek a role offering hands-on administrative and bookkeeping responsibilities in a collaborative small-to-medium business, with opportunities to optimize processes and support growth.

I am a detail-oriented freelance administrative and bookkeeping specialist with 16+ years supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs. I manage end-to-end administration, bookkeeping (QuickBooks, Sage/Pastel), payroll support, compliance, and operations while driving process improvements that increase accuracy and efficiency.

I have led office and marketing operations across embroidery, security, auditing, and bespoke manufacturing sectors, supervised teams, administered HR and health & safety functions, and produced legal and marketing documentation. I take ownership, meet deadlines, and deliver consistent, high-quality support to growing businesses.
