@paolaortega
Bilingual virtual assistant and administrative specialist delivering precise, high-volume support and efficient document/process management.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English B1–B2) Virtual Assistant with 10+ years of progressive administrative experience across construction, retail, and distribution. I streamline executive agenda management, handle up to 30 electronic invoices per day with 100% accuracy, and optimize document management—reducing document retrieval time by 70% through a full digital and physical filing overhaul.
I’m known for proactive process improvement and meticulous financial record-keeping, including accounts payable/receivable tracking and supplier/vendor coordination. From managing client cash control with zero discrepancies to improving inventory accuracy by 20% and boosting accounts receivable recovery by 15%, I bring structured SOP creation, Excel automation for reminders and trackers, and reliable remote collaboration using Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Notion, Trello, Asana, Slack, and AI productivity tools like ChatGPT.
