PROFILE
For the past five years, I have specialized in bookkeeping and financial reporting,
assisting my clients with recording their transactions using Xero and QuickBooks. In
addition to bookkeeping, I produce financial reports that help my clients understand
their business performance over specific periods and analyze their cash flows for
better decision-making. I also assist small-to-medium-sized businesses in
transitioning from traditional bookkeeping methods in Excel to setting up their Xero
and Quickbooks accounts.
