My Business experience includes one year of administrative work in an accounting facility, where I have worked along with accounts payable, accounts receivables, bank account reconciliations and three years experience as a customer service representative. Also, I completed an accounting internship that has also enabled me to further develop my skills in journal entries, budget modification, and bank account reconciliations.
