What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values accuracy and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a highly organized and detail-oriented Bookkeeping Virtual Assistant with extensive experience in accounting and financial management. My expertise lies in preparing financial statements for sole traders and partnerships, managing budgeting and forecasting, and performing precise bank and ledger reconciliations. I pride myself on my ability to produce comprehensive financial reports and accurate VAT returns, ensuring financial compliance and accuracy.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed non-current assets, prepared invoices, and provided support during external audits. My role as an Accounts Assistant at Sigma Accounting Services allowed me to hone my skills in financial reporting and data analysis, where I prepared year-end accounts and financial statements while capturing data and completing banking reconciliations. I am adept at using cloud-based bookkeeping systems like QuickBooks and Xero, which enhances my efficiency in managing financial data.
