Accountant · Reconciliation & Automation Specialist

Detail-oriented accountant with 5+ years of progressive experience serving multi-national clients across the Philippines, United States, and Latvia. I investigate and resolve reconciliation discrepancies independently, keep records audit-ready, and build automation that turns days of processing into minutes.

Core competencies

The work I'm trusted with, day to day.

  • Reconciliation & discrepancy resolution

    Bank, account, intercompany, and payment reconciliations — including variances left unresolved by others.

  • General ledger & variance analysis

    GL maintenance, journal entries, and corrective postings that keep the ledger defensible.

  • Period-end close

    Month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close delivered on schedule with reporting to market heads.

  • AR & AP management

    Full-cycle receivables and payables, invoice processing, and vendor/client documentation.

  • Cross-border & eCommerce bookkeeping

    Compliance-support reporting across PH, US, and EU engagements, plus multi-platform eCommerce books for Shopify, Etsy, Airbnb, and Booking.com.

  • Financial reporting & PH tax

    Financial statements, Philippine tax compliance (BIR), and payroll computation.

  • Process automation

    AI-assisted workflows, Excel-formulated tools, and browser utilities that compress recurring work.

  • Team leadership & QA

    Training accountants, delegating tasks, and holding the line on delivery standards.

  • Client communication & email management

    Direct client consultation calls, plus managed inboxes and shared mailboxes that keep correspondence timely, accurate, and on record.
