Fay Sal
@faysal
Finance graduate and bookkeeper skilled in financial analysis, budgeting, and cloud accounting.
What I'm looking for
I am a finance graduate with hands-on experience in bookkeeping, financial reporting, and budgeting for small businesses. I maintain day-to-day financial records, prepare monthly reports, and manage reconciliations with an emphasis on accuracy and reliability.
I have experience supporting VC deal sourcing and due diligence through market research and financial data review, and I apply analytical rigor when evaluating startups for investment readiness. I also bring classroom experience as a mathematics tutor and former teacher, which sharpens my communication and lesson-planning skills.
Technically, I am proficient with Excel (advanced functions including VLOOKUP and pivot tables), QuickBooks, Google Sheets, and cloud collaboration tools like Zoom and MS Teams. I earned a BSc in Accounting & Finance (Upper Second-Class Honours) from the University of London and completed a practical financial accounting course through UC Irvine.
I am known for responsibility, a strong work ethic, and attention to detail, and I am seeking remote opportunities where I can contribute accounting expertise, streamline processes, and support financial decision-making.
