About
Nineteen years of getting the numbers right.
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, inventory records, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance, with occasional payroll support, and supervised a small accounting team along the way. She progressed through accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable roles, was promoted to Internal Auditor in 2022, and worked in Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision).
After a career break from 2023 to 2026, she returned to the field in 2026 through a structured Xero certification pathway (Certified Professional, Certified Associate, and Payroll Specialist), specialized Australian bookkeeping training, TESDA Bookkeeping NC III, and the QuickBooks Online Accountant Certification. Her practical and internship work includes invoicing, supplier and customer workflows, bank reconciliation, payroll support, financial reporting, and BAS/IAS-aligned bookkeeping. She's now available to support businesses worldwide that value accurate records, careful reconciliation, and dependable bookkeeping support.
