Bookkeeper
Every business needs a bookkeeper. Why? Someone has to keep track of where the money flows–in or out–down to the very last cent. That's where Christina, a professional bookkeeper, comes in.
As a freelance bookkeeper, Christina Mazzawi works with a variety of businesses to make sure that key financial tasks are accomplished on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis. Mainly this includes invoicing, payroll, accounts receivable and accounts payable. What does all that mean? In a more general sense, Christina tracks all income that is owed to a business and all liabilities that a business owes to others, like their own staff. Bookkeeping is an exact science, so a knack for numbers and a finely tuned attention to detail are paramount to being a working professional. If you have a head for business and numbers, bookkeeping might be a good outlet for your skills. Tune in to learn more!
