CA finalist and full-charge remote bookkeeper delivering audit-grade bookkeeping and multi-jurisdictional VAT compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CA Finalist (ICAP) and full-charge remote bookkeeper with 2+ years managing end-to-end books for international clients across the US, UK, MENA, and Türkiye. I bring audit-grade accuracy aligned with IFRS/ISA and a disciplined approach to month-end close.
I own accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, and general ledger maintenance using QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoho Books, and Odoo ERP. I also handle multi-jurisdictional VAT compliance for UK MTD, KSA ZATCA, and Bahrain NBR—helping keep clients penalty-free while delivering decision-ready management accounts. Through reliable asynchronous delivery and repeat clients, I scaled my freelance practice to a recent $940/month milestone.
Before leading remote bookkeeping, I worked as a Senior Audit Associate, reconciling and reviewing records across a 52+ client portfolio under IFRS and ISA, including forensic and high-stakes tax/VAT reviews. I’ve also trained 33+ junior staff on working-paper standards and fraud-risk assessment frameworks, and I previously supervised an 8-person team where I reduced invoice-processing time by 20% by overhauling accounts-payable workflows and introducing automation.
