I provide virtual administrative and financial support, from bookkeeping to calendar management.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Certified Public Accountant providing freelance virtual administrative and financial support to businesses and entrepreneurs. Since 2021, I've handled bookkeeping, invoicing, financial reporting, email correspondence, scheduling, travel arrangements, and document organization remotely.
I reconcile financial statements, track expenses, prepare reports, and support clients with data entry, online research, and social media management. I use QuickBooks, Sage Accounting, Pastel, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, CRM, and project management tools to keep work organized and efficient.
Previously, I managed day-to-day operations at Kenya Airport Parking Services at JKIA, coordinating with site supervisors and approving financial documents including invoices and petty cash.
My earlier cash officer and cashier work strengthened my experience in cash deposits, reconciliations, internal controls, financial reporting, and cost-saving practices. I'm committed to confidentiality, accuracy, and seamless remote support.
