Entry-level accounting assistant who turns accurate records and friendly customer service into dependable daily results.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an entry-level, multi-tasked assistant focused on daily operations and customer service, backed by hands-on bookkeeping experience. In my assistant/accounting role, I help with book keeping, taxes, filing papers, and making sure receipts are accounted for, while also supporting client communication through phone calls.
I also bring strong customer-facing and problem-solving experience from collections and front desk work. I set up payment plans for overdue accounts, and I’ve built patience and reliability through caregiving responsibilities and fast-paced service roles like handling reservations, payments, and add-on options. I’m careful with data entry and maintaining data integrity, and I’m ready to support accounting functions such as accounts payable and general ledger while delivering outstanding service.
