What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote bookkeeping & finance roles across the EU/EMEA.

Finance and Accounting Professional with 20+ years of hands-on experience across full-function accounting, payroll, Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), reconciliations and financial administration. My experience has been built from the ground up across banking, retail, property management, insurance, staffing and recruitment environments, giving me a strong practical understanding of day-to-day finance operations and the complete accounting cycle. Core experience includes:
• Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
• General Ledger and month-end processing
• Bank, balance sheet and company credit card reconciliations
• Supplier statement reconciliations and payment processing
• Debtor allocations, credit control and collection follow-ups
• Payroll administration and processing
• VAT calculations and statutory submissions
• Accruals, journals, petty cash and expense claims
• Invoice processing and financial administration
• Month-end schedules and audit preparation.
I have worked with Sage, Pastel, SAP and Microsoft Excel, including PivotTables, and I am confident learning new financial systems and processes. I am proficient in written and spoken English and Afrikaans and currently based in Greece. I am particularly interested in English-speaking remote opportunities across Europe, the EU and EMEA, including Finance Administration, Bookkeeping, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Credit Control, Billing, Reconciliations and Finance Operations. I bring extensive practical experience, attention to detail, reliability and the ability to quickly understand financial processes, systems and operational requirements. Open to Remote EU/EMEA Opportunities | Based in Greece
