Experienced accounts professional transitioning to Lead Generation Virtual Assistant.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned accounts clerk with over 30 years of experience in bookkeeping, payroll, administrative support, and operations across the Philippines and abroad. I consistently perform efficiently under pressure with minimal supervision, handling sensitive financial data with accuracy and confidentiality while improving operational efficiency.
Currently transitioning into a Lead Generation Virtual Assistant role, I generate high-quality leads using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator and SaaSquatch, provide virtual bookkeeping and admin support, and coordinate with government agencies. I am diligent, responsible, and adaptable, preferring written and online communication due to hearing loss and open to learning VA tools to better support remote clients.
