Hello,

- Payroll Management

- Ms Excel, Word and powerpoint
I am a very methodical person who enjoys working with numbers and calculating finances and hopefully providing data and information that effectively improves the management processes and increases the bottom-line.
I am organized and thorough, I pay great attention to detail and I like to work in a very organized and structured manner. I am keen to continue learning and would be pleased to do further accountancy and finance qualifications as applicable to my role.
Services I offer
1. Performing Financial Reconciliation on accounts
2.Bookkeeping(Xero, MYoB, Quickbooks, Wave, Oracle Erp) Accounts payable, receipting, Banking and all GL inputs.
3.Preparation of final accounts for your business Balance sheet/Profit and Loss

When your business operates across borders, your accounting and tax obligations do not follow one rulebook. They follow several, and the cost of getting them wrong is not just a late fee. It is regulatory exposure across multiple jurisdictions, missed deductions, misclassified income, and financials that will not hold up when a bank, investor, or tax authority looks closely.
I am CPA Felistas Njihia, a Senior Auditor and Financial Analyst with over 8 years of experience in cross-border accounting, international tax compliance, IFRS financial reporting, and audit. I work with founders, remote-first companies, SaaS businesses, nonprofits, and foreign-owned entities that operate across the US, Canada, and Australia and need their books, tax filings, and financial statements built to withstand scrutiny in every jurisdiction they touch.
My cross-border compliance work covers US federal tax preparation, including Forms 1040, 1040-NR, 1120, 1065, and 5472 for non-resident owners and foreign-owned entities. I handle Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120 filings for foreign-owned single-member LLCs and C-corporations treated as disregarded entities under IRC Section 6038A—mandatory regardless of income or activity, with a $25,000 IRS penalty for non-compliance. For Canadian tax compliance, I handle T1 personal, T2 corporate, T3, and GST/HST filings via CRA EFILE and NETFILE, including investment corporations and SR&ED support. For Australian compliance, I handle BAS preparation, GST reconciliation, and ATO lodgement. I also prepare IFRS and US GAAP financial statements; handle ASPE to IFRS conversions; conduct full audit engagements; and manage month-end close and financial reporting for service businesses, SaaS companies, and nonprofits, including Form 990-EZ compliance.
Clients I have served include a US-based SaaS company in the logistics space requiring cross-border payroll structuring, Stripe reconciliation, and US-Canada tax compliance across IRS and CRA obligations. A foreign-owned Delaware C-Corporation requiring Form 1120 and Form 5472 filing for a dormant low-activity entity where I identified and corrected a prior accountant error in the 5472. A Canadian investment corporation requiring T2 preparation and CRA filing via FutureTax. A nonprofit organization requiring QuickBooks cleanup and submission-ready 990-EZ preparation. And a Canadian entity requiring ASPE to IFRS conversion with full financial statement restatement.
What separates me from most accountants on Upwork is audit-level judgment applied to every engagement, not just the ones that say "audit" in the title.
I do not just post transactions. I review supporting documents. I assess risk and inconsistencies. I flag issues early. I close loops.
I work as if your financials will be reviewed by tax authorities, including the IRS, CRA, and ATO, as well as investors, banks, and regulators. Because across the clients I serve, they often are.
The tools I work in daily include QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, Zoho Books, WaveApps, Hubdoc, Dext, ApprovalMax, and Bill for accounting and bookkeeping workflows. For audit engagements I work in CaseWare and AuditBoard. For financial reporting and analysis I use Microsoft Excel at an advanced level, Microsoft Power BI, and Tableau. For US tax preparation I work with Drake Tax and TaxSlayer. For Canadian tax compliance I use TaxCycle, ProFile, and FutureTax T2 for T1, T2, T3, and GST/HST filings via CRA EFILE and NETFILE. For Australian compliance I work with Xero Tax and LodgeiT for BAS preparation, GST reconciliation, and ATO lodgement, alongside MYOB for Australian entity bookkeeping.
I am a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and work comfortably across cloud-based, multi-currency, and multi-entity accounting environments used by remote-first and international businesses.
If your business touches more than one country and you need someone who understands what that actually means for your books, your tax filings, and your financial reporting and who will handle all of it with discipline, accuracy, and accountability, let us get to work.
