Kelsey Metembo
@kelseymetembo
Accountant and senior bookkeeper with 7+ years of multi-branch full-cycle accounting, reconciliations, and month-end reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a finance professional with 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, from bookkeeping assistance through trainee accounting to full accountant-level responsibilities. I handle full-cycle accounting (source documents to financial statements) with a strong focus on accuracy, reconciliations, and dependable month-end reporting. I’m also comfortable working independently under pressure while managing multiple financial systems.
In multi-branch financial operations, I managed monthly balance sheet reconciliations across 3 branches, processed cashbook transactions and daily payments, and prepared month-end financial reports for management review. I processed accruals, bad debts, and month-end journals, monitored petty cash systems, and maintained fixed asset registers (additions & disposals). I’ve also overseen accounts payable and receivable processes and coordinated reporting with branch managers.
Most recently, as a Senior Bookkeeper in financial operations, I reconcile 6 bank accounts across multiple entities, manage intercompany recoveries, and support operational teams with financial accuracy. I perform VAT reconciliations and compliance checks, process supplier and debtor transactions, and prepare/post general and supplier journals. I’m seeking remote finance or operations roles within international or fast-paced digital companies where I can apply my end-to-end accounting strength and keep reporting highly reliable.
