What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my administrative skills in a supportive and collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth.

Results-oriented Accounts and Administration Specialist with 6 years of professional experience in the distribution sector. I have a proven track record of driving financial accuracy and operational efficiency, mostly by improving company cash flow by 85% through strategic debt recovery and disciplined account reconciliation.

I am currently focusing on becoming "software agnostic" to better serve modern, remote-first accounting firms. While I am an expert in Microsoft Office and Sage Pastel Evolution, I have recently completed a QuickBooks Online certification and am currently advancing my proficiency in Xero. This technical focus ensures I can seamlessly integrate into various cloud-based workflows with zero downtime.

My background in the distribution industry has made me a specialist in high-volume AP/AR management and meticulous financial documentation. As a professional based in Botswana, I am fully equipped for remote collaboration with a high-speed connection and the flexibility to adapt my schedule to U.S. or international time zones.

I am eager to showcase my skills in reconciliation, customer liaison, and digital file management to support a growth-oriented team. Whether as a volunteer or through an internship, I am committed to delivering 100% accuracy and professional excellence every step of the way.
