What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply bookkeeping and office management strengths in a compliance-focused, collaborative environment that offers stable responsibilities and opportunities to improve processes.

I am an experienced office manager and bookkeeper with extensive hands-on experience in QuickBooks (Online and Desktop), bank reconciliations, payroll, accounts payable/receivable, inventory control and compliance for marine and service-sector employers. I have a proven record of supervising human resources, implementing administrative and financial controls, coordinating certifications and maintenance schedules, and improving record-keeping and reporting processes.

My career spans roles from junior accounts coordinator to office manager and statistical officer, where I led cycle counts, cost analyses, debt collection efforts and supported audits and year-end reporting. I bring dependable organizational skills, attention to regulatory compliance, and practical problem-solving to help teams run efficiently and accurately.
