01 / ABOUT

Built on detail.
Focused on clarity.

My background spans accountancy coursework, records management, sales administration, and Excel-based business systems. My four simulated QuickBooks Online cases trace transactions, review a documented reconciliation, check adjustments, and connect activity to financial reports.

I value accurate records, clear supporting schedules, confidential handling, and personal review of AI-assisted work.
