Bookkeeper & Virtual CFO | QuickBooks, Xero & Odoo | ACCA | PWC

I run your accounting the way a finance director would: accurate books in QuickBooks, Xero or Odoo, a reliable month-end close, and reports you can make decisions with. ACCA | PwC alumnus | 20+ years | Top Rated Plus. I'm most useful when a business has outgrown basic bookkeeping: the books are behind, reconciliations don't tie out, the ERP was set up badly, or nobody fully trusts the numbers. I fix the foundation first, then make the process faster and more useful. Upwork: 100% Job Success | $400K+ earned | 35,000+ hours. I'm also founder and Managing Partner of an accounting and advisory firm established in 2008: 70+ professionals, 500+ clients, 30+ countries. You work with me directly; the firm gives you depth and continuity.
