Detail-oriented bookkeeping and administrative professional with 20+ years' experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented bookkeeping and administrative professional with over 20 years of experience managing financial records, account reconciliation, payables, invoicing, and office support. I consistently streamline processes to improve accuracy and operational efficiency while maintaining strict confidentiality.
In my most recent role as a Fiscal Technician - Trust, I managed high-volume inmate trust accounts, processed deposits and withdrawals, performed reconciliations, and audited records to resolve discrepancies in compliance with state policies. I also collaborated with staff and vendors to address financial inquiries and trained new employees on account procedures.
As a consultant and bookkeeper for small businesses and remote clients, I provided accounts payable/receivable support, tax and compliance reporting, data entry, scheduling, and front-office customer service. I am known for accuracy, efficiency, and discretion when handling sensitive information.
I hold coursework in accounting and business administration, an accounting associate credential, and certifications in Microsoft Excel and Intuit Bookkeeping (in progress). I am skilled with QuickBooks, Excel, and the MS Office Suite and thrive both independently and as part of a team.
