What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role where I can support executives and operations with accurate payroll/AR workflows, KPI dashboards, and automation. I thrive in teams that value consistency, clear communication across time zones, and continuous process improvement.

I’m a detail-driven Senior Virtual Executive Assistant with 5+ years of remote experience, turning operational friction into clean, repeatable processes for distributed teams. I’m known for accuracy in high-volume data reconciliation and for keeping weekly execution consistent across payroll, AR, and executive support.

In my recent roles, I built dashboards that give owners same-day, real-time visibility, consolidated data from multiple sources into structured reporting, and eliminated recurring payroll discrepancies with reconciliation checklists. I also improved cash flow by establishing a weekly AR follow-up cadence—calling outstanding accounts, logging outcomes, and escalating aged balances to recover within timelines.

I bring strong executive readiness: I manage executive calendars and inboxes across time zones with zero missed meetings, and I communicate clearly on executive correspondence and collections calls. I pair advanced Excel/Google Sheets (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables) with Make.com automations, plus SOP documentation and process improvement, to help teams scale without adding headcount.
