Hello Lenders!
My Names are Isaiah Githaiga an accountant by profession. I hold a Bsc BA (USIU), MBA (UoN) and a CPA (K) Finalist. It has been a tough Journey which I have completed courtesy of my Family members and relatives who encouraged me never to give up despite the many financial challenges I faced.
Investing in education has helped me start an online business consultancy which runs via oDesk (Now Upwork) market place. I offer the following virtual services to various clients around the Globe:
* Income statement preparation from incomplete records.
* Bank reconciliations
* Accounts receivables and payable management.
* Payroll and payment processing
* Full bookkeeping services using Intuit Quick-books, Wave and Xero.
* Academic and Web research
* Data entry and analysis using Microsoft excel spreadsheets and SPSS
Currently I am serving ten clients who have extended a long term relationship. When I have too much workload I have an assistant who help me out in meeting clients’ deadlines.
The mission of the business is to grow and create employment for fresh university graduates and also teach them skills on how to successfully start an online business like mine. This will alleviate poverty and create a productive society. I have learnt to be successful online entrepreneur through the hard way and I believe with the experience I have gathered in the past few years, I can effectively teach the youth and impact on their life.
Thank you
Isaiah Githaiga
When I started my business in 2012, It was quite challenging and never thought I would succeed.On oDesk (Now Upwork) there is too much global competition from Contractors from all over the world.Cutting an niche requires dedication and commitment.I practice as a Virtual Accountant,currently serving clients from Canada,United States,Australia and Europe.
Offering quality services have enabled me to get repeat orders and thus I am usually busy throughout the year.
One of the services I offer in my Business is Academic research consultancy.The month of October will be very busy for me and I need unlimited and stable Internet connection as my research works are usually based on the Internet. I am currently using internet bundles which usually limit the amount of work I can do especially when I am downloading large academic files for my research.
When I subscribe to the unlimited package in the month of October,I will be able to work for more hours in a week and increase my weekly revenue since I am usually paid on the amount of hours I have worked.I will also be able to hold regular Skype meetings with my clients and also, I will manage to get more jobs and outsource some thus create employment to fresh graduates around my community.
