@mabelnamagembe
Remote bookkeeping and accounting professional delivering accurate financial control.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented remote bookkeeping and administrative professional with over 15 years of experience in bookkeeping, accounts management, financial reporting, and data entry. I consistently manage large transaction volumes with 100% accuracy and maintain compliance with accounting standards.
My work spans end-to-end bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, payroll for 60+ employees, VAT/PAYE/NSSF filing, and preparing management reports that improved decision-making efficiency by 30%. I implemented process improvements—digitizing records, deploying QuickBooks/Tally, and Excel-based controls—that increased efficiency and reduced retrieval times substantially.
I collaborate with auditors and management to ensure audit readiness and optimized cash flow, recovering significant receivables and reducing costs. I take pride in secure data handling, timely statutory compliance, and delivering reliable remote bookkeeping support that earns strong client satisfaction.
