What I'm looking for

I am seeking accounting or administrative roles (full-time or part-time) in office or hybrid settings where I can apply bookkeeping, reconciliations and reporting skills while continuing to grow in business information systems.

I am a detail-focused bookkeeper and accounts administrator with over six years' experience supporting SMEs across Australia, the U.S. and the Middle East. I specialise in AP/AR, payroll support, reconciliations, invoicing and month-end assistance using Xero, QuickBooks, SAP and Excel.

I have consistently improved processes and accuracy — for example, reducing month-end discrepancies by 20% through timely journals and maintaining 100% on-time monthly financial statements. I manage high volumes of transactions (100+ invoices weekly; 200+ monthly) and resolve supplier and client queries quickly, improving cashflow and vendor relationships.

I am completing a Master of Business Information Systems and am open to accounting and administrative roles where I can apply my bookkeeping expertise, reporting skills (Excel, Tableau, Power BI) and strong communication to support efficient finance operations.
