Bethel Francis
@bethelfrancis
I keep financial records accurate, audit-ready, and clearly reported for remote clients.
What I'm looking for
I run One For The Books, where I streamline Sage 50 and QuickBooks Online workflows for remote clients while keeping their records accurate and audit-ready.
I process AP/AR, journal entries, GST/HST remittances, and reconciliations across bank, credit card, and general ledger accounts. I focus on validating balances, finding inconsistencies, and correcting errors before they affect reporting.
I reconstructed 12 months of condominium financial records in about 50 hours, completing reconciliations and preparing organized reports for an annual audit. During a business account cleanup, I identified and corrected a discrepancy that increased accurately reported profit by approximately $30,000.
As Treasurer for Ottawa Church of Christ, I automated Google Sheets reporting and improved cost controls, transparency, and budget oversight. I bring eight years of experience reviewing, organizing, and validating financial information.
