Administrative professional with 5+ years in office administration, accounting support, and document management.
What I'm looking for
I’m an administrative professional with over 5 years of diverse experience supporting day-to-day operations across office administration, accounting support, customer service, and document management. I’m proficient in front desk operations and maintaining robust filing systems to keep communication and organisation running smoothly.
In my most recent role as an Administrative assistant, I oversee front desk operations, coordinate calendars and meetings, and manage physical and digital filing for quick, secure document retrieval. I also assist in preparing reports and internal communications, process correspondence, and provide essential accounting-team support including data entry, record keeping, and basic invoicing.
Earlier, I strengthened billing workflows as an Accounts receivables professional, monitoring aging reports and following up on overdue accounts—improving Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) by 10 days. I also delivered high-accuracy data entry (99%) as a Data entry clerk/accounts assistant, generating routine Excel reports while maintaining confidentiality and reliable records. I’m committed to enhancing workplace efficiency in fast-paced environments.
