Chalana Salgado

I’m an Accounting and Finance graduate from La Trobe University with 4 years’ experience as an Accounts Officer in a high-volume environment. I’m currently pursuing my CPA, with a strong focus on accuracy, efficiency, and delivering insights that support business growth.

In my Accounts Receivable work, I manage daily cash flow, including accurate recording and reconciliation of bank deposits. I generate and issue customer invoices using customer invoices on “Foodchain ERP,” perform regular bank reconciliations using “Access Kandy” and “Attache software,” and monitor aged trial balance to ensure timely follow-up on outstanding accounts.

I also handle month-end duties and maintain organized records of proof of deliveries for audit and reference. On the costing and reporting side, I prepare detailed sales reports, interstate freight cost breakdowns, and analyze sales data to identify trends and variances, while calculating and reporting key cost drivers like fuel and packaging expenses.

Earlier, as an Accounting Intern at “Monash Tax Accounting Services Pty Ltd,” I created Mid-Year Accounts for Self-Managed Super funds using Simple Fund (BGL), supported auditing, and processed Individual Tax Returns and tax returns for SMSFs using tools like “Reckon Elite 2020.” I bring a detail-driven, service-minded approach to every reconciliation, invoice, and reporting cycle.
