Vivi Muchila is a dedicated professional who helps small businesses thrive by managing their finances using Quickbooks and Xero. Vivi is the Founder of
VM Bookkeeping Services, where she provides a range of services including bookkeeping, consulting, and training. Originally from Namibia and now based in Switzerland, Vivi serves US clients remotely, allowing them to focus on running their businesses while she takes care of their financial needs. I met Vivi during a sales call in April, where we discussed the potential of her employing my VA services. Despite a previous negative experience with a VA from the Philippines, Vivi was open and proactive in seeking the right assistance to support her growing business. Her need for flexibility and her willingness to provide training on her systems and processes resonated with my service offerings, which include a flexible schedule and a zero minimum policy. I am looking forward to establishing a professional and mutually beneficial relationship with Vivi, and I am grateful for the opportunity to support her business. Thank you, Vivi.
ASKS: Folks, Vivi would like to connect with tax preparers, CPAs, business attorneys, business lenders, and financial advisors. If you know professionals in these fields who are looking to expand their network and collaborate, please introduce them to Vivi.
