Most virtual assistants manage your calendar. I manage the operations and finances behind your business. With 10+ years in auditing and operations — and 5 years as a dedicated VA — I bring something rare to the table: the ability to handle both the administrative and financial sides of a growing business, without you needing two separate hires. My audit background means I'm comfortable in financial systems most VAs avoid. I work in QuickBooks Online for light bookkeeping — transaction categorisation, reconciliations, expense tracking, and keeping your books clean between accountant reviews. Because I understand audit trails and financial accuracy, clients trust me with their numbers. Beyond the books, I manage the operational layer that keeps businesses running: client onboarding, executive scheduling, inbox and communication management, CRM, workflow documentation, and AI-assisted task execution. I've worked across real estate, healthcare, venture investing, black car logistics, creative agencies, and credit repair — supporting founders and teams who needed more than a task manager. They needed someone who could own a function. What I handle for clients: → Light bookkeeping — QuickBooks Online, expense tracking, bank reconciliations → Financial admin — invoicing, accounts tracking, financial file organisation → Client onboarding systems and CRM management → Executive calendar, inbox & communication management → Workflow auditing, SOP creation & process documentation → AI-powered operations using Claude AI, ChatGPT & Google Gemini → Cross-platform coordination: Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Todoist The combination of financial literacy, operational precision, and AI fluency is not common in a VA. If your business needs one reliable person who can handle the admin, the books, and the systems — let's talk.
