Ciela Acosta – Bookkeeping, E-commerce

ciela-acosta-vaI’m a people person. I love meeting new people and learning about their lives and their backgrounds. I can almost always find common ground with strangers, and I like making people feel comfortable in my presence. I find this skill is especially helpful when kicking off projects with new clients.

By the way, Ciela here. I am a bookkeeper mom who loves numbers and is passionate to help.

I have been doing bookkeeping for almost 10 yrs and I specialize in helping businesses and SMEs keep their accounting record updated because your books tell you the financial status of your business. This also helps with making an important financial decision.

In the last 2 yrs working in a remote bookkeeping job, I have helped some of my clients in different industries such as real estate, eCommerce, retailers, pharmacy, and logistics.

I have been able to help them to clean up and catch up on their books/accounting records. I handle their Accounts Payable checking if the supplier gets paid promptly and coordinating if some issues arise. I monitor their Account Receivable, creating customer invoices and corresponding with payment. And that’s what I love to do.

My strength is my ability to understand their struggle in the books. I pride myself on my reputation for dealing with the different accounting systems. I am good at QBO, desktop. Netsuite and Xero. I use Xero for my daily tasks like general bookkeeping.

My weakness is I find it hard to say NO to people. This is a problem of mine that I always say yes to everything even when I can’t do so. In the past, I sometimes become overwhelmed by taking on too many responsibilities. Today, I have learned that before saying Yes to things, I now take my time to assess my workload to make sure I do have the capacity to commit to extra work responsibility.

ciela-acosta-vaWhat I am looking for is a company where I will be an asset to their business, not a liability one. I would produce a positive return on investment for where I could join a strong team.
