Experience Summary

Charish Jane Carreon is a CPA with over 10 years of experience in bookkeeping, accounting, and internal audit. She has provided remote support to international and US-based clients since 2023, with particular expertise in e-commerce bookkeeping. She has hands-on experience with Shopify, Amazon, QuickBooks Online, Stripe, and PayPal. Her reconciliation work centered on matching Shopify sales to QuickBooks, reviewing order-level details when tax mappings did not flow correctly, and clearing Shopify-related entries against actual bank payouts. In US e-commerce roles, she managed weekly reconciliation workflows across multiple payment channels and compared platform activity against bank deposits on a recurring basis. Her broader experience includes inventory accounting, cash flow monitoring, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and month-end close support. Her month-end process encompassed bank reconciliations, validating sales and tax data in QuickBooks, reviewing items such as depreciation, prepayments, and accruals, and preparing key financial reports including the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and equity-related reporting. She also reviewed unusual balances and investigated discrepancies as needed. She resolved tax mapping discrepancies between Shopify and QuickBooks through a detail-oriented approach that involved reviewing transactions at the order level to identify and resolve mismatches, including small decimal-level differences when required.
