Remote Staff Recruiter Comments
Jonalyn is an experienced accountant and bookkeeper with over 10 years of practice across diverse industries, including outsourcing services, property management, retail trading, and BPO/consulting environments. In her most recent role, she worked remotely as a part-time bookkeeper and administrative support for a client in the Australian events industry through an outsourcing platform.
Her day-to-day responsibilities included managing a centralized inbox system to organize supplier and customer communications efficiently. She issued customer invoices and processed supplier bills, ensuring accuracy and timeliness. She handled payroll preparation and processing on both weekly and fortnightly schedules, making sure to account for special items such as bonuses and discretionary payments.
Jonalyn performed daily bank reconciliations across multiple Xero entities to maintain accurate financial records. She prepared manual journal entries for month-end adjustments, including prepayments and accruals, and generated aged payables and receivables reports on a weekly and monthly basis.

Her work required strong knowledge of Australian compliance requirements, including conducting monthly GST reconciliations for quarterly BAS lodgment. She regularly performed P&L and balance sheet analyses to support month-end closings and provide clear financial insights.
Additionally, she has experience with large-scale cleanup and reconciliation projects in previous outsourcing engagements, where she resolved multi-year backlogs of non-compliant accounts.
