Bookkeeper · Xero & QuickBooks Certified
About
Sheryl spent nineteen years as an Accountant and Internal Auditor for a manufacturing company, where accuracy wasn't optional — it was the job. She managed the general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, bank reconciliation, payroll, inventory records, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance for a growing operation, and supervised a small accounting team along the way.
Since 2023, she has focused that experience toward remote bookkeeping for Australian businesses — completing a structured Xero certification pathway (Certified Professional, Certified Associate, and Payroll Specialist), Australian bookkeeping training, and the QuickBooks Online Accountant Certification. Her practical training includes invoicing, reconciliation, payroll, and BAS/IAS-aligned reporting work. She's now looking for an Australian business that values accurate records, careful reconciliation, and dependable bookkeeping support.
Trained on real compliance stakes
Internal audits and regulatory reporting mean she catches discrepancies before they become problems.
Comfortable owning the full cycle
From data entry through to financial reporting, not just one slice of the ledger.
Built for Australian time zones
Structured her schedule and internet setup specifically to work live with AU business hours.
