Personal Resume
Visalia, CA 93277
*******@*****.***
Professional Summary Highly seasoned accountant and bookkeeper with experience in all aspects of accounting. Seeking 20 to 40 hours per week working remotely doing Data Entry work. I am a partially disabled veteran with hearing disabilities that limit my ability to work in a crowded and noisy environment. One-on-One telephone communications and working by myself works just fine.
Accomplishments Best described by my current employer, Mr. Michael E Gerber, a world renowned author, public speaker, and entrepreneurial trainer who I have had the pleasure of working with since 2007. See his letter of recommendation on page 3 and a description of who he is on page 4. Out of the many thousands of followers around the world, I am proud to have been his choice to handle his personal and business accounting affairs.
When I started in 2007, the labor costs of his accounting department totaled $7,800.00 per month. As a result of policy and system changes that I have implemented, these costs have been reduced to $3,300.00 per month.
Mr. Gerber has recently suffered severe health issues and is unable to continue in his present role. That creates the need for me to find something else to do. I am in perfect health and not ready to retire.
