What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote bookkeeping role where I can handle day-to-day recordkeeping, AP/AR, reconciliations, and financial report preparation—working with an organized, deadline-driven team while growing my skills with Xero and QuickBooks Online.

I’m a detail-oriented aspiring bookkeeper focused on day-to-day bookkeeping for small businesses. I work confidently with Xero Cloud Accounting and QuickBooks Online, supporting organized, deadline-driven financial management.

I’ve used Xero and QuickBook to manage invoicing, expense tracking, and bank feed matching, keeping documentation ready for audit readiness. I also help ensure QuickBooks accounts are reconciled and that financial reports are accurate and up-to-date.

I’m building credibility through formal preparation and certifications, including Xero Advisor Certification (completed February 2, 2025) and a QuickBooks Online Accountant Certification (earned March 21, 2025). I also completed a 30-day virtual bookkeeping boot camp covering double-entry accounting and monthly reconciliation workflows.

Alongside bookkeeping tasks, I’m proficient in Excel and Google Sheets for data entry and productivity, and I’m comfortable working with Microsoft Office. With my Branch Head experience in retail—overseeing inventory, daily sales tracking, and timely reporting—I’m ready to work independently in a remote role and support clients with reliable customer service.
