Professional Summary

I’m a Certified Public Accountant (active Philippine license) with over 25 years of
banking and finance experience across Doha Bank (Qatar) and Philippine National
Bank, including credit administration, AML/KYC compliance, operational risk, and
internal audit. I bring that same discipline — accuracy, documentation, and attention
to regulatory detail — to bookkeeping for small and mid-sized businesses.
I’m a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Xero Advisor, and I completed a full-cycle
bookkeeping practicum covering the complete accounting cycle: transaction
categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable/receivable,
payroll journal entries, month-end close, and financial statement preparation (P&L,
balance sheet, cash flow).

I’m based in Doha, Qatar, and work remotely with clients across time zones. I’m
currently building my freelance practice and taking on new monthly bookkeeping
clients as well as one-time cleanup projects
