Dahayona Cibanakan (TL-C4D333)
Bookkeeper & Accountant
Professional Bio
I’m a graduate of Brown University with a dual concentration in Economics and Political Science. I’m also a graduate of Intuit’s Client Advisory Services Foundations Program and hold certifications as a Bookkeeper and as a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor. I have extensive full-charge bookkeeping, staff accounting, financial accounting, and managerial accounting experience. I've established, managed, and developed double-entry, cash-basis, modified cash-basis, and accrual-basis accounting systems on behalf of multi-sector, small, mid, and large-cap businesses. I've serviced sole proprietorships, general business partnerships, limited liability companies, s-corporations, c-corporations, professional service corporations, and not-for-profit corporations. I have a strong affinity for the payment resolution space and leverage the applied data analytics skills that I've developed in accountancy to find actionable insights, solve real-world business problems, and drive better business decisions. I'd love an opportunity to help guide your strategy. To discuss the specific contributions that I'd make as your hire, schedule a 30 minute phone meeting at https://www.calendly.com/bsg-info. I'd love an opportunity to discuss the value that I’d add and help your business retain. Thank you in advance for giving me the opportunity to earn your business.
