Beyond the Numbers: Xero Bookkeeping Portfolio
About Me
I am a Civil Engineer with almost 7 years of experience in construction management, where I handled project documentation, cost tracking, budgets, and coordination with clients and suppliers. This experience taught me accuracy, organization, and accountability with numbers — skills I now bring into bookkeeping.
To transition into virtual assistance, I recently completed a General Virtual Assistant program specializing in bookkeeping. As part of my training, I completed hands-on bookkeeping simulations using Xero, where I practiced recording sales and bills, bank reconciliation, tracking account payables, and generating financial reports.
While I am building my professional experience as a bookkeeper, I am trained in Xero and equipped with real-world experience in managing project finances and records. I am now offering reliable bookkeeping support for small businesses and construction-related businesses who need organized, audit-ready books.
