Business Management / Writing / Bookkeeping / Accounting

Although I don't have much professional experience as a writer, I still enjoy writing as a hobby and a passion.

I managed cost and profit for my business for seven years. This entailed tracking procurement costs, factoring in operational costs and overheads and projecting product demand to determine profitable and competitive mark-up margins.

I am naturally detailed and organized with the things I do. A perfectionist, as some would say. This translates to a very organized and efficient work ethic, especially useful when it comes to categorizing, organizing, and keeping documents and records.

I kept both physical and digital records of my sales and expenses. The daily physical copies compiled by month and the digital records neatly organized and automated in Microsoft Excel.

The seven years of owning and managing a business also taught me valuable business management skills such as: • Executive decision making. • Customer relations management. • Employee satisfaction and morale (important in retail) • Competitive market research and application.

I kept a digital record of my business operations using Microsoft Excel. I created a system of Excel sheets which automized the recording, calculation, and summarization of all relevant data. I quite enjoy fine-tuning and programming in Excel to produce a level of automation that would rival expensive Point of Sale systems.

I kept a detailed digital record of my business operations from daily sales and expenses and accounts payable and receivable in an organized and automated Excel sheet. This would automatically compile daily records to a monthly summarization that also translated the figures to multiple business analysis factors such as: • Sales trend to determine annual highs and lows to assist in financial decisions. • Sales projection and product demand to assist in procurement. • Accounts payables and receivables plotting to assist in cash flow management. • Overall sales and operation costs to determine net profit per month.
