Karen Bertez

I’m a detail-oriented bookkeeping and accounting professional with 8+ years of experience supporting end-to-end financial operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, payroll support, and month-end closing. I focus on accurate records, strong compliance, and clear communication so teams can move faster with confidence.

In my most recent role, I managed bookkeeping for 400+ real estate agents across 3 Market Centers—overseeing AP/AR, payroll, bank reconciliations, commissions, and 1099 processing. I streamlined month-end reconciliation to reduce reconciliation time by 30%, improved cash flow by 15% through timely AR collections, and coordinated vendor initiatives that cut operational costs by 20%.

Previously, I handled end-to-end AP processing for Latin America and North America, reducing invoice processing time by 30% while maintaining 98% accuracy in AP reconciliations and financial reporting. I’ve also supported audits and payment optimization projects that reduced processing costs by 40%, and I bring virtual operations strengths like Shopify store/order management, inventory/product listing, and email/calendar support to keep online workflows smooth.
