Accounting Officer | Virtual Assistant

I have accumulated about 6 years of experience in accounts payable. My responsibilities include validating invoices, performing data entry using Xero, and monitoring due dates for payments. I am also in charge of budgeting allocated funds for payables, preparing checks, and generating reports for the President and Accounting Manager. Additionally, I manage foreign remittances to international suppliers, which involves preparing forms, compiling required documentation, and coordinating with banks for forex exchange. Currently, I work full-time in a shared services environment here in the Philippines, serving a company based in Australia and New Zealand. We utilize Workday as our system for managing accounts payable processes.

I have extensive experience using Xero for data processing and accounts payable functions. I use Xero to monitor payment due dates, generate reports, and ensure the precise allocation of funds. It enhanced my ability to maintain organized financial records and streamline accounting processes effectively.

When I started my first job, one of my responsibilities was payroll accounting. I used a specialized program to prepare payroll for fewer than 60 employees. This involved computing overtime pay, managing leave and absences, and handling various payroll queries. Ensuring accuracy in these calculations and addressing any payroll-related questions was a key part of my role.

With approximately 6 years of experience in data processing, I have my skills in validating and entering data efficiently using systems such as Xero and Workday. My role involves ensuring the accuracy of financial records, managing data related to accounts payable, and generating detailed reports for senior management. I am adept at handling large volumes of data, preparing necessary documentation, and coordinating with various stakeholders to streamline processes and ensure timely payments.

I have proficient experience with Microsoft Office, particularly in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook and Teams. My expertise in these applications enhances my ability to organize information and present data clearly.

I have significant experience in bank reconciliation, where I ensure the accuracy and consistency of financial records by comparing bank statements with internal accounts. My role involves identifying and resolving discrepancies, reconciling transactions, and maintaining up-to-date records.
