Detail-oriented financial bookkeeper with expertise in financial operations.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and highly organized financial bookkeeper with a strong background in managing accounts, preparing financial reports, and reconciling bank statements. My experience spans working with small businesses and entrepreneurs, where I have honed my skills in using accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero. I am committed to streamlining processes and ensuring compliance, which supports businesses in achieving financial clarity and growth.
In my recent role as a Financial VA at PricewaterhouseCoopers, I prepared and delivered monthly financial reports, assisted with budgeting, and managed accounts payable and receivable. My freelance internship further allowed me to assist with day-to-day bookkeeping tasks, generate financial reports, and support executive teams with administrative tasks. I pride myself on maintaining organized digital filing systems and ensuring accuracy in all financial documentation.
