What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role in a dynamic environment that values financial expertise and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a results-oriented and highly motivated accounting professional with over 12 years of experience in the field. My expertise spans managing accounts payable and receivable, reconciling bank statements, and preparing accurate financial reports. I have a proven track record in forecasting, budgeting, payroll, and income tax preparation, which has enabled me to contribute significantly to the financial success of my previous employers.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in various accounting software including QuickBooks, Xero, SAP, and Microsoft Excel. My recent role as a Virtual Bookkeeper involved end-to-end bookkeeping, where I successfully managed all transactions and maintained clear communication with clients. I am passionate about leveraging my analytical skills and attention to detail to drive efficiency and accuracy in financial operations.
