What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual French/English (C2) bookkeeping and administrative specialist with 6+ years of experience owning full-cycle bookkeeping, invoicing, and day-to-day office operations. I’m autonomous and detail-oriented, and I’m fully comfortable working asynchronously in remote environments.
I handle accounts payable/receivable, invoice preparation and tracking, and monthly bank reconciliations—maintaining accuracy between company records and statements. As an Xero-certified professional with familiarity in QuickBooks and Pennylane, I also coordinate administrative operations (scheduling, document management, and supplier communication) and manage bilingual written communication to support clients and partners.
