More Info About Me
Hello! I am Marilou, a Freelance Accountant, Bookkeeper, and US Tax Preparer. I am here to take care of all your bookkeeping and accounting needs which will give you peace and freedom of mind to focus on growing your business. I am a BS in Accountancy graduate, Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor, and XERO Advisor. Before venturing into a freelance Bookkeeper, Accountant, and Tax Preparer I was a former Accounting Assistant, Internal Auditor, Sales Supervisor, and Marketing Associate in well-known retail and BPO service industries. When I reflect, I think my educational background and work experiences prepared the ground. I started undertaking courses and workshops which helped me gather the necessary skills. This helped me a lot to sharpen my abilities as I had the opportunity to apply my learnings.
Today, I want to provide extreme support to clients facing business financial struggles by sharing my acquired skills and knowledge in accounting, bookkeeping, and auditing as well as tax return preparation service.
I will do more than just accounting for the money. I will make it grow because I have warm concern for business owners and I enjoy helping them to succeed.
Therefore, say goodbye to business financial struggles and say hello to confidence by hiring a trusted and dedicated accountant/bookkeeper. Let me help you so we can grow your business together.
