What I'm looking for

I would like to have an administrative job with a simple bookkeeping role for 3-4 hours a day. I would like to work remotely, or in a hybrid capacity if the job is in the north coast area.

I have over 20 years of experience in administration and bookkeeping, with a focus on maintaining accurate records and ensuring smooth operations. In my current role at AR Farms CC, I handle the administration and bookkeeping for various client engagements, demonstrating my ability to multitask and manage multiple responsibilities.

Prior to my current position, I served as the Manageress at Winterton Country Club, where I successfully managed the club grounds, bar, and kitchen. I was responsible for daily cash-ups, handling petty cash, and planning and supervising functions. I also liaised with local primary schools for their sports events, demonstrating my strong communication and coordination skills.

In addition to my administrative and bookkeeping experience, I have also owned and operated The Therapy Room, where I provided a range of beauty treatments such as waxing, massaging, facials, manicures, and pedicures. I have a keen eye for detail and always strive to provide exceptional customer service.
