South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented bookkeeper with over six years of hands-on experience in financial record-keeping, payroll processing, reconciliations, and tax compliance. I have prepared financial statements and tax filings (VAT, Income Tax), managed accounts payable and receivable, and used Pastel, QuickBooks, and Excel to produce accurate reports and maintain clean ledgers.
As a reliable remote professional, I bring strong analytical and organizational abilities, proven in both corporate bookkeeping roles and remote teaching engagements that reinforced my communication and administrative accuracy. I hold a B.Ed., business management program credentials (MMP & AMP), and TEFL/TEYL certifications, and I consistently focus on improving expense tracking and financial controls.
