Remote bookkeeper with 15+ years delivering accurate full-cycle bookkeeping.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a remote bookkeeper with 15+ years of experience managing full-cycle bookkeeping for small businesses and CPA firms. I bring advanced QuickBooks Online expertise—bank feed management, reconciliations, cleanup, and financial reporting—so books stay accurate, consistent, and deadline-ready.
I’ve managed 5–10+ client accounts simultaneously while processing and categorizing 300+ monthly transactions, completing high-volume reconciliations (bank, credit, and loans), and producing reliable financial statements like P&L and balance sheets. From accounts payable and expense management to journal entries and GL accuracy, I focus on cross-system data accuracy, resolving discrepancies quickly, and supporting payroll and sales tax reporting.
