What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level administrative or financial assistant role in a collaborative environment where I can apply meticulous data entry, basic bookkeeping, and remote coordination skills while developing professionally.

I am an entry-level administrative and financial support professional with a foundational education in Economics and Management Sciences and practical training in virtual assistance and office administration. I deliver meticulous data entry, basic bookkeeping, and well-organised document control using MS Excel, Google Sheets, and G-Suite.

In remote and in-person roles I have coordinated workflows, standardised document templates, managed event budgets for 200+ participants, and collaborated with startup founders to redesign and proofread business materials. I consistently meet tight deadlines and improve administrative efficiency through digital filing and process improvements.

I hold certificates in virtual assistance, office administration, reception, and basic Excel/data entry, and I am seeking an entry-level administrative or financial assistant role where I can apply my attention to detail, organisational skills, and commitment to data integrity.
