No matter what we do in life, we can all use business and financial information to progress personally and business-wise. If you're a company, platform, or professional that creates this form of content, you have found the right freelancer.
If you need temporary or ongoing accounting work, I am also a great candidate for hire due to my 8+ years of experience as a remote accounting analyst. This includes data entry, journal entries, account reconciliation, and anything accounts payable.
MORE ABOUT MY WRITING EXPERIENCE
Business and finance are my most specialized areas of writing. I attended college for business and finance, completing three additional programs related to business and education even though my chosen degree was in finance. My career experience has been mainly finance-related, consisting of 2 years in consumer lending and eight years in accounting.
For over four years, I have had the pleasure of helping people globally create quality content that their audience receives value. I've done mainly blog post content, but scripts, guides, other webpage content, eBooks, and more have been created by me also.
Do you need other content that is not related to finance and business? No worries. I've also spent the last 4 years expanding into other areas to make myself more marketable. Other areas of writing experience include:
*Law (business law, personal injury law, and estate planning)
*Sustainability
*Social issues
*Politics
*Economics
*Firearms and other protection
*Healthcare and mental health
*Software development
and the experience goes on!
MORE ABOUT MY ACCOUNTING/FINANCE EXPERIENCE
I have had the opportunity to work for two large corporations in 8 years, which has resulted in my extensive experience in accounting. Working remotely, I have successfully handled dozens of vendor accounts with the accounts clean and up-to-date.
Accounting and data entry is simply about precision to me. I allow my employers or clients to feel relief as they can sit back and relax, knowing their vendor accounts are being handled in the best possible manner.
I have worked vendor accounts for large corporations such as:
*Walmart
*Wegman's
*Best Buy
*Dollar Tree
*Bradford White
*Goodman
*Kohler
and dozens more!
If you're still reading about me, hopefully, I'll get the pleasure of speaking with you. Inquire about any projects you need to complete, as I am usually available throughout the day and night as a full-time freelancer.
