Professional Summary

As a meticulous Senior Bookkeeper with a strong reputation for integrity and confidentiality, I excel in financial statement presentation, financial data analysis, and payroll processing. With nearly 5 years of experience in the field, I am proficient in current payroll and tax software programs. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Commerce and a Diploma in Business Management, equipping me with the knowledge and experience to thrive in challenging work environments.

I am an accurate bookkeeper with excellent time management and organizational skills, experienced in both private and public accounting sectors. I am skilled in general ledger accounting and periodic financial report completion.

I am energetic, enthusiastic, reliable, and hardworking, comfortable working independently or as part of a team. I am always eager to learn new things and open to further training if necessary. Having worked in various locations and cultures, I adapt quickly to new work environments.

Personal Summary

For the past 6 years, I’ve resided in Busselton, Western Australia, with my husband, a local doctor at Busselton Hospital, and our child who attends a local school. We take great pride in being part of this community and feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.
