What I'm looking for

I seek remote administrative or bookkeeping roles where I can apply precise bookkeeping, client intake, and operations support within a compliant, systems-driven team aligned with US/UK/EU hours.

I am a highly organised senior administrative professional with 25+ years of cross-sector experience supporting executive leadership and operational teams. I deliver accurate client intake, documentation control, and bookkeeping to trial balance across healthcare, hospitality, agriculture, and trading.

I have a proven record of maintaining data integrity, ensuring compliance (POPIA), and driving process accuracy while supporting senior management and stakeholders. I manage accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, payroll calculations, and month-end reporting using Xero and Pastel.

As a business owner and administrative operations manager, I ran full back-office functions for a hospitality business including procurement, stock control, scheduling, and supplier compliance. I also served in clinical administration roles handling medical aid authorisations, ICD-10 support, and funder liaison with strict regulatory adherence.

I am remote-ready with a dedicated home office, stable fibre internet and backup power, and full availability overlapping UK, EU, and US hours. I bring dependable, system-based support, confidentiality, and a commitment to efficient, accurate administrative and financial operations.
