Elmarie Joy Canoy

I am Elmarie Joy M. Canoy, a bookkeeper with over four years of hands-on experience in bookkeeping and now embracing the exciting journey of the freelance industry.

Setting myself apart from other bookkeepers, I have strong proficiency in accounting and productivity software, which allows me to manage financial data efficiently and maintain accurate records. My effective time management ensures that tasks are prioritized and deadlines are consistently met without compromising accuracy. With a sharp attention to detail, I carefully review financial information to ensure all records are complete and error-free.

I am highly proficient in accounting platforms such as QuickBooks and Zoho Books, and I utilize project management and communication tools like Asana, Slack, Zoom, Google Meet and the Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Powerpoint), as well as other productivity and office tools like Google Sheets and Google Drive to ensure smooth task management and collaboration. In addition to technical skills, I bring valuable soft skills that help ensure seamless operations, including excellent communication, strong organizational skills, time management, attention to detail, adaptability, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. These traits allow me to manage tasks efficiently and work well within teams or independently.

With over four years of experience in bookkeeping, I’ve developed strong skills in managing financial records and driving results. In my previous role, I helped double our office’s income by creating strategic plans to optimize resources and control expenses. I turned challenges into opportunities and helped my team think proactively. From my past work experience, my scope of work includes:

● Matching and verifying bank statements with internal records for bank reconciliation

● Managing accounts payable and accounts receivable transactions

● Handling tax filing and compliance

● Preparing accurate financial statements for analysis and strategic decisions

● Recording of invoices and bills

● Setting up and administering payroll

● Supporting budget preparation and financial forecasting

With moderate dominance, I am confident and goal-oriented while staying patient and open to others’ ideas. I take initiative, handle challenges directly but respectfully, and balance assertiveness with cooperation—focusing on results without being controlling.
