Hey I am Maricel

Bookkeeper / General VA / Dental Insurance Biller

My purpose is to help businesses and other clients to achieve their financial objectives by providing quality services in bookkeeping in a professional,
courteous and timely manner. The goal is to increase sustainable, proven profitability for both customers and the company. To deliver my client a
results-driven solution based on their goals and challenges by helping clients select the most appropriate services to meet and exceed expectations.
My strengths are analytical mindset, working under pressure, maintaining a positive attitude, multitasking, and adaptability.

I am an Accounting Graduate and have attended some training and internship to upskill my knowledge to resolve bookkeeping-related issues. I am a Quickbooks Certified ProAdvisor.

I am also working as a Customer Success Specialist and a part-time Logistics Officer for more than 2-years.
Some of my main tasks are answering queries/concerns using SalesForce, doing proactive calls, and having done some training.
I was one of the Top 3 Customer Success Specialists in the MEA Region.

Most of my previous work was as a Purchasing Officer and Dental Insurance Biller. In addition, I have worked as an administrative assistant in the past.

While having regular work, I did not stop learning new things. I attended some online courses about e-Commerce Course (Lazada), Fb Ads Formula Course, the General Virtual Assistant Online Course, Amazon VA In-Depth Course, and the Online Bookkeeping Course and Internship.

I would say that I am self-driven, resilient, and very dedicated to my work.
