Senior Accountant | Bookkeeping | QBO & Xero | Cleanup & Reporting

Clean books should do more than balance. They should show where cash is going, what is profitable, and what needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem. I’m a Senior Accountant and Top Rated Plus bookkeeper with 16+ years of experience helping startups, SMEs and growing businesses maintain accurate records, resolve financial issues and build reliable accounting processes. My track record: • 100% Job Success Score • 21,000+ Upwork hours and 122 completed jobs • QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor – Online and Desktop • Xero Advisor Certified • Certified Business Accountant – CA Sri Lanka • Experience supporting businesses with $5M–$12M in annual revenue ◆ WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME CLEANUP, CATCH-UP & PROBLEM SOLVING I don’t simply categorize transactions. I investigate unreconciled balances, duplicates, incorrect opening balances, clearing-account issues, misclassified loans, payroll liabilities and unusual balance-sheet activity. I correct the underlying problems and deliver organized, CPA-ready financials. REPORTING & CASH-FLOW CLARITY I prepare monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, budget-to-actual, KPI and management reports that help owners understand performance and make informed decisions. My experience includes forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, working-capital monitoring and multi-entity reporting. REAL ESTATE & PROPERTY ACCOUNTING I support investors, rental owners, property managers, STR operators and multi-property groups with: • HUD-1, Closing Disclosure and settlement-statement recording • Property purchases, sales, loans, escrow and closing costs • HOA statements, dues and special assessments • Rental income, security deposits and property expenses • Mortgage principal, interest and escrow allocations • Property-level P&L and owner reporting • Trust, operating and rent-clearing reconciliations • Capital improvements versus repairs • Owner contributions, distributions and intercompany balances SAAS & ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING For a Canadian SaaS company, I identified qualifying internal software-development costs that had been overlooked and helped organize the accounting so they could be recorded as an internally developed intangible asset. My SaaS experience also includes deferred revenue, prepayments, Stripe clearing, GST and QST, monthly reporting, cash burn and runway analysis. E-COMMERCE & MULTI-CHANNEL RECONCILIATION I have supported high-volume e-commerce businesses processing thousands of monthly transactions across Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Walmart and TikTok Shop. I reconcile sales, payouts, fees, refunds, chargebacks, marketplace taxes, inventory, COGS, payment processors, clearing accounts and foreign-currency differences. AI-ASSISTED ACCOUNTING & AUTOMATION I support practical AI-assisted and rule-based workflows for document capture, transaction review, reconciliation exception checks, invoice preparation, variance analysis and management-report commentary. Every output remains subject to human review before posting or delivery. I also improve workflows across QBO and Xero, BILL, Dext, Hubdoc, Expensify, Stripe and A2X—reducing manual work while maintaining approval controls and audit trails. ◆ CORE SERVICES • Cash and accrual bookkeeping • Monthly close, catch-up and cleanup • Bank, credit-card, loan and clearing reconciliations • Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable • Payroll journals and reconciliations • Financial reporting, cash-flow forecasting and budgeting • Job costing, fixed assets, accruals and prepayments • Multi-entity and intercompany accounting • E-commerce and payment reconciliation • AI-assisted bookkeeping, reporting and workflow automation • Year-end schedules and CPA-ready books ◆ INDUSTRIES Real Estate & Property Management | E-Commerce & Retail | SaaS & Technology | Construction & Trades | Coaching & Consulting | Law Firms & Professional Services | Marketing Agencies | Hospitality & STR | Nonprofits | Healthcare ◆ SYSTEMS QuickBooks Online and Desktop | Xero | Zoho Books | Sage | Shopify | Amazon | A2X | Stripe | PayPal | BILL .COM| Dext | Hubdoc | Fathom | Excel | Google Sheets ◆ WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT • Accurate, fully reconciled records • Proactive identification of accounting issues • Clear communication and dependable deadlines • Organized supporting schedules • Decision-ready reports If your books are behind, reconciliations don’t tie, profitability is unclear, or accounting requires too much manual work, send me a message or invite me to your project.
