Karen Fixter
@karenfixter
Accounting professional and office manager skilled in QuickBooks and financial reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven accounting and office management professional with a strong track record in fast-paced environments. I manage day-to-day accounting operations, keep workflows organized, and use QuickBooks to ensure accurate, timely financial processing.
In my recent roles, I’ve handled daily transaction entry across multiple properties, prepared and monitored annual budgets, and produced monthly financial statements. I also manage accounts payable/receivable, invoicing, payroll processing, check writing, credit card reconciliations, and data integration between QuickBooks and invoicing portals.
Earlier in my career, I managed front-office and administrative operations, including patient scheduling and insurance verification using NextGen EHR and ICD-9 coding. I bring that same attention to detail, customer-focused communication, and problem-solving to every account and process I own.
