Bookkeeping and Administrative Services

I apply my expert-level Excel skills to:

  1. •Leverage advanced functions such as Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming, array formulas, pivot tables, data filtering, and lookup and logical functions

  2. •Create custom Excel applications, including spreadsheets that import and analyze data from other applications (SAP, QuickBooks, etc.), to produce reports, tables and charts tailored to your needs

  3. •Automate repetitive and routine tasks with user-defined Excel worksheet functions and VBA macros that eliminate manual errors and save time

  4. •Debug existing spreadsheet formulas and VBA code

  5. •Conduct "tune-ups" on spreadsheets that have grown and become more complex over time in order to simplify and streamline their design


I also design and conduct surveys using web-based applications such as SurveyMonkey.


I have extensive expertise in data analysis, “cleanup” and manipulation, and can leverage the power of Excel’s built-in functions such as pivot tables to validate and analyze data sets of any size.

I draw on strong written and verbal communication skills to
