QuickBooks Online Cleanup This project involved cleaning up 8 months of outdated books for a US-based eCommerce company. I reconciled all bank accounts, corrected misclassified expenses, and delivered accurate financial statements ready for tax filing. 2. Monthly Management Report Pack I prepared monthly management accounts for a Canadian startup, giving the owners real-time visibility into revenue, expenses, and cash flow. Reports were delivered in a professional, investor-ready format. 3. Accounts Payable & Receivable Dashboard For an Australian consulting firm, I set up AP/AR tracking in Xero and built an Excel dashboard that highlighted overdue receivables and optimized payment schedules—improving cash flow by 15%. 4. Payroll Processing & Compliance I managed payroll for a UK client with 25+ employees. Responsibilities included processing salaries, deducting taxes, and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. 5. Cash Flow Forecasting Model Description: Created a rolling 12-month cash flow forecast for a US tech startup to help them plan funding requirements. The forecast highlighted periods of cash shortage and supported their successful funding pitch. 6. Tax Filing Support / Year-End Accounts I prepared year-end accounts and reconciliations for a Canadian client, ensuring their CPA received accurate data for tax filing. This reduced back-and-forth with the tax preparer and saved 10+ hours. 7. Audit Support – Big Four Experience As an ex-EY auditor, I’ve prepared audit-ready schedules and documentation for clients. This helped reduce audit queries by 95% and ensured smooth statutory compliance.
