What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an articulate accountant with over 22 years of comprehensive experience in full cycle management and accounting. My journey has taken me through various roles, from a Trainee Audit Supervisor to an Accounts Manager, where I have honed my skills in financial reporting, compliance, and team management. I have a strong foundation in cloud accounting systems, including QuickBooks Online and Xero, which allows me to streamline processes and enhance accuracy in financial reporting.

In my current role as a Virtual Accountant, I provide freelance services that include company setup, account reconciliation, payroll accounting, and tax accounting. My analytical skills enable me to conduct in-depth analyses of business transactions and generate insightful reports for management. I am committed to ensuring compliance with internal controls and corporate policies while fostering a collaborative team environment to achieve timely and accurate results.
