It’s the always chipper, quick-witted and eager-to-help Kira! Kira’s a member of our bookkeeping team and makes her way to us from Red Deer, Alberta. Apologies, ‘berta. She’s such a valuable addition to our team and makes us thankful that we can hire from across the country to get the best. Kira works directly with clients and their books (even ours, does that mean she’s the real boss?) delivering reports, answering questions, and helping them understand what’s going on in their financials.
We love her and we know our clients do as well but let’s let her dazzle you herself.
Tell us a bit about your work and school background
I found a love for bookkeeping when I took a Professional Administration course at my local college, which included two basic accounting courses. I had no idea that this type of work appealed to me before then and was so grateful to stumble upon it! I then went back to school to receive my bookkeeping certification and ever since I have been living the absolute dream of working in a profession where I love what I do!
What interested you about joining Avalon?
When searching for jobs I scoured through every Canadian cloud accounting business there was, and Avalon was my absolute favourite.
