Bookkeeper | Accountant | Financial Controller
Batangas
I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor with over 10 years of accounting experience in financial reporting, budgeting, inventory accounting, cost analysis, and bookkeeping. I recently completed a hands-on US bookkeeping simulation, where I managed the full accounting cycle using QuickBooks Online. My work included recording over 1,000 financial transactions, bank and credit card reconciliations, payroll journal entries, month-end closing support, maintaining the chart of accounts, sales tax management, and preparing vendor Forms W-9 and 1099-NEC/MISC. Before transitioning into US bookkeeping, I held finance leadership roles as a Controller, Finance Business Partner, and Chief Accountant in multinational and manufacturing companies. These roles strengthened my expertise in financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, cost analysis, inventory management, and business performance analysis. I am detail-oriented, organized, and committed to delivering accurate financial records while meeting deadlines. I am eager to help businesses maintain clean books, streamline accounting processes, and provide reliable financial information that supports informed business decisions.
