Assistant Finance Manager

I have used QuickBooks Online extensively to manage day-to-day accounting operations and support accurate financial reporting. Through QuickBooks, I have processed accounts payable and accounts receivable transactions, recorded journal entries, performed bank and account reconciliations, monitored cash flow, maintained the general ledger, and generated financial reports such as Profit & Loss Statements, Balance Sheets, and Cash Flow Reports. Using QuickBooks Online and other accounting systems, I maintained accurate financial records, investigated and resolved discrepancies, and provided timely financial reports to support management decision-making. Because I was supporting multiple clients simultaneously, I developed strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize tasks while consistently meeting deadlines.

My responsibilities included recording of sales, purchases, receipts and payments, preparing and posting journal entries and maintaining general ledger, managing accounts payable to ensure vendor reconciliations and timely payment processes, managing accounts receivable generating invoices, reconciling outstanding receivables and over dues and resolving payment issues, recording bank transactions and perform bank reconciliation, maintaining petty cash records, payroll posting and processes, recording fixed asset acquisitions and depreciation as well as the prepayments extended to contract agreements, and maintaining accurate supporting documentations for all transactions following established internal controls and company policies while adhering to accounting standards.

I have supported both internal and external audits throughout my career. My responsibilities included preparing audit schedules, reconciliations, supporting documents, and responding to auditor inquiries. By maintaining organized records and strong documentation practices, I have helped facilitate smooth audit processes and successful audit completion.

I perform bank reconciliation, AP and AR reconciliations and General Ledger Reconciliations with validation of supporting documents, obtaining approvals from the involved departments, verifying balances, reviewing and resolve discrepancies following internal controls.

During the payroll review process, I work closely with HR to validate employee records before payroll is finalized. HR confirms that the employee master data is accurate, including new hires, resignations, salary adjustments, promotions, leave records, bank details, and any changes to benefits or deductions. Once HR validates and approves these records, I review the payroll calculations to ensure they align with the approved employee information and company policies.

I regularly use Microsoft Excel for financial analysis, reconciliations, assist in budgeting and forecasting, and management reporting. I am comfortable working with advanced Excel functions such as Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, IF formulas, and data validation to organize and analyze large datasets efficiently. I also use Excel to prepare supporting schedules, variance analyses, month-end working papers, and customized financial reports.

I oversee cash flow management which means I ensure that a business has enough cash available to meet its obligations while supporting growth and operations. It involves monitoring, forecasting, and controlling the movement of cash into and out of the business.

My responsibilities included VAT and Corporate Tax compliances. In Vat return preparation, I prepare and review VAT returns before submission, ensure accurate recording of input VAT and output VAT, verifying tax invoices comply with the local VAT regulations, submits VAT returns and make payments within deadlines and handle VAT audits and responds to queries from tax authority. In filing corporate tax, this is done through coordination with the external auditor. Submission requires audited financials to ensure that the financial data are accurate, validated and verified in accordance with IFRS and GAAP compliances.
