What I'm looking for

I seek a bookkeeping or accounting role where I can apply AP/AR, payroll, QuickBooks, and Sage skills, contribute accurate reporting and audit support, and grow within a collaborative finance team.

I am a proactive, detail-oriented bookkeeper and Accounting & Finance graduate who specializes in accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and transaction posting.

During internships I recorded and posted daily transactions in Sage ERP, managed supplier and customer accounts, performed monthly bank reconciliations, and prepared VAT and withholding tax returns to meet statutory requirements. I also produced monthly financial reports for management review.

I am proficient in QuickBooks Online, Sage ERP, and Microsoft Excel, and I maintain organized digital and physical filing systems to support audits and reporting.

I bring strong communication and teamwork skills, and I am pursuing QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification to deepen my software proficiency and deliver reliable, audit-ready financial records.
