Online Bookkeeper

I am proficient in using the English language, both spoken and written, due to my experiences working for a foreign English-speaking employer/company which required me to interact daily with my foreign counterparts, either over the phone or in person.

Problem solving became a natural part of my professional toolkit due to my early days as a research and design engineer. As a copy editor, this skill was still very useful as each manuscript always presented unique problems when it came to meeting both language and journal-specific requirements. As an apprentice online bookkeeper, my proficiency in problem solving still came into play as I had to identify and resolve discrepancies in the financial data/transactions during reconciliation on a few occassions.

My data entry skills were developed as part of my copy-editing work, which regularly required manipulation of large tables of data. These skills were useful during my online bookkeeping apprenticeship, as the work sometimes required the importation and exportation of large amounts of data (i.e., financial transactions) to and from the Xero Accounting Software for processing

Through an apprenticeship program, I have developed competency in the following core functions in Xero: (1) Chart of accounts management, (2) Recording and management of bills and invoices, (3) Bank reconciliation, and (4) Generation of financial reports for internal review and analysis
