I’m a virtual accounting assistant streamlining AP, invoicing, and monthly close.
What I'm looking for
I’m a virtual accounting assistant with 7+ years of hands-on experience in accounts payable, invoicing, bank reconciliations, and monthly close support across insurance and industrial companies. I’m known for being reliable, detail-driven, and proactive about keeping finance operations running smoothly—especially in remote, support-focused roles.
I build and maintain operational finance systems for SMEs, including cost structures, income statements, and cash flow projections. I support finance leadership by turning day-to-day transactions into clear reporting that helps management make decisions with confidence.
In accounts payable and billing, I own the full operational flow—from invoice registration and due-date tracking to authorization and execution of transfers. I also oversee the end-to-end billing cycle (including AFIP tax authority filing), track collections and outstanding balances, and maintain accurate reconciliations and monthly billing metrics.
I bring process improvement into my work by using AI-assisted automation tools (ChatGPT, Claude) to streamline workflows. Previously, I also managed an editorial service cycle as a Proofreader & Layout Designer, strengthening my attention to detail, quality control, and client-focused execution.
