Summary

Bilingual public accountant with over 5 years of experience providing remote accounting services to small businesses and entrepreneurs in Colombia. Skilled in payroll, bank reconciliations, and financial reporting. I specialize in organizing financial records, generating clear reports, and supporting day-to-day bookkeeping with accuracy and reliability.

Although I haven't worked directly with U.S.-based clients yet, I am fully prepared to support international businesses remotely. I work fluently in English and Spanish, adapt easily to new systems and time zones, and focus on building long-term, trust-based client relationships.
