Michelle Tugbong

I’m Michelle C. Tugbong, a dedicated and detail-oriented bookkeeper and virtual assistant with over six years of professional experience working with clients in Australia, the Philippines, and the UK. I specialize in remote bookkeeping and administrative support for small businesses, startups, and service-based organizations. My passion lies in helping business owners maintain accurate financial records, stay tax-compliant, and streamline day-to-day operations so they can focus on what they do best.

I am QuickBooks Online Certified, a Xero Advisor and Payroll Certified, and also hold certifications in Intuit Bookkeeping and Virtual Bookkeeping. My background includes managing full-cycle bookkeeping tasks such as bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll processing, and BAS and VAT preparation. I’ve worked with multi-entity organizations, including handling books for up to 28 intercompany entities, preparing monthly financial reports, and supporting tax filings in compliance with local regulations.

Beyond bookkeeping, I also provide virtual assistant services, including calendar management, document organization, data entry, client follow-ups, and reporting. My experience in administrative support has made me highly organized, responsive, and capable of managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Clients describe me as reliable, proactive, and easy to work with. I take pride in maintaining confidentiality, working independently, and consistently meeting deadlines with accuracy. Whether I’m preparing audit-ready financials or responding to urgent administrative needs, I always aim to add value to the businesses I support.

I work well in cloud-based environments and am proficient with tools such as Xero, QuickBooks, Dext, Gusto, Wave, Trello, Slack, Canva, and Google Workspace. I also have a reliable internet connection, a quiet home office, and availability to work within U.S., Australian, or UK time zones, depending on client needs.

My goal is to be more than just a bookkeeper—I aim to be a reliable long-term partner in your business's financial health and operational success. If you’re looking for someone who combines accuracy with efficiency, and professionalism with a personal touch, I’d love to connect and explore how I can help support your business.
