What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine administrative support with accurate bookkeeping and clear client communication, ideally with remote-friendly workflows. I want steady responsibility, reliable processes, and room to grow in finance or operations.

I’m an administrative, bookkeeping, and proofreading professional with experience in both remote and on-site support, client communication, report preparation, and digital records management. I bring a background that blends organized operations with careful attention to detail, especially when accuracy matters.

In accounting and virtual support roles, I’ve handled day-to-day financial processes such as reconciliations, payroll-related support, VAT, PAYE, and withholding tax submissions. I’ve maintained bookkeeping records in QuickBooks Online and Sage 50, investigated financial discrepancies, and communicated documentation clearly to partners and leadership.

As an Administrative Assistant and Virtual Assistant, I’ve managed multiple client inboxes, prepared outreach emails and research-driven administrative/project reports, and supported CSRs’ events and client workflows. I’ve used tools like RingCentral, Google Docs, Google Workspace, and remote coordination practices to keep documents, calls, and daily operations running smoothly.

I also maintain a strong editorial side to my work—editing academic dissertations for structure, clarity, and academic standards, and proofreading documents for grammar, formatting, and consistency. From using CopyScape for plagiarism checks to applying ChatGPT to assist content work, I help ensure outputs are polished, compliant, and ready for real-world use.
