What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles where I can automate finance processes, build dashboards, and improve accuracy for SMEs, with growth opportunities and collaborative teams.

I am a CPA-part II trained finance and data analytics specialist who blends certified accounting knowledge with advanced technical skills in Python, SQL and Power BI to automate financial operations and deliver actionable insights. I build scalable systems that streamline bookkeeping, payment reconciliation and reporting, reducing errors and saving clients time.

As a freelance virtual assistant for finance and data automation, I developed a Python reconciliation script achieving an 85% match rate and a Power BI dashboard that reduced unapplied cash by 40%. I have corporate experience preparing financial reports, maintaining ledgers and performing reconciliations with 99.8% accuracy.
