About

I'm a full-charge bookkeeper based in Pangasinan, Philippines, with a Bachelor's degree in Accountancy and over seven years of hands-on bookkeeping across lending, agribusiness, and logistics — plus six years of remote work supporting clients in New Zealand and the United States.

I own the full cycle: recording transactions, reconciling accounts, managing accounts payable and receivable, and closing the books each month so the numbers are ready for tax time, not just filed away. In late 2025 I completed a US Bookkeeping & Tax Preparation certification, building toward full-charge bookkeeping for US small businesses specifically — federal and state compliance, individual and business returns, and QuickBooks Online payroll.

I use AI tools — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity — day to day for research, workflow automation, and building quick reporting dashboards, so clients get faster turnaround without losing accuracy.

Full-Charge Services

01

Invoicing

Invoices raised and sent on time, so cash comes in when it's supposed to — not whenever someone remembers to bill.

02

Bank reconciliation

Every bank and credit card account tied out to the cent, every month, with variances explained instead of hidden.

03

Accounts reconciliation

Vendor invoices, 3-way matching against POs and delivery reports, AP/AR aging tracked so nothing slips through.

04

Expense management

Spend coded correctly, receipts captured in Dext, and anything that looks off flagged before it costs you.

05

Inventory management

Stock reconciled against receipts and sales so you always know what you actually have on hand.

06

Month-end close

Journal entries, accruals, and prepaids booked so the close finishes on schedule, not three weeks late.

07

Financial reporting

P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, delivered in a format you'll actually read and use to make decisions.

08

Payroll

QuickBooks Online payroll processing run as part of the monthly cycle — accurate, on time, every pay period.

Case File — A Real Save

Fraudulent Order Flagged Before Fulfillment Songlorious · E-Commerce Ops
Situation

While handling customer support and order fulfillment, an incoming order carried a payment pattern that didn't match a legitimate purchase.

Action

Reviewed the payment details against known fraud patterns before the order shipped, and held it rather than letting it move automatically down the fulfillment line.

Result

The order was flagged and stopped before shipment — the business kept its inventory and avoided the chargeback loss a fulfilled fraudulent order would have caused.

✓

The kind of catch that only happens when someone is actually watching the numbers — not just processing them.
