Hi, I'm Estela Sarah Galura—your Bookkeeping & Finance VA.
Backed by over 20 years of executive leadership in finance, business operations, and commercial management, I bring a strategic yet detail-oriented approach to bookkeeping and financial management. Throughout my corporate career, I managed financial performance, P&L, budgeting, forecasting, and business operations, giving me a deep understanding of how accurate financial records drive smarter decisions and sustainable growth.
Today, I'm combining that executive experience with modern cloud bookkeeping to help business owners stay financially organized and focused on growing their businesses. Certified in QuickBooks Online and Xero, I provide reliable support in bookkeeping, financial reporting, bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, expense tracking, and day-to-day financial operations.
My goal is simple - to deliver accurate, organized, and dependable financial support so you can make confident business decisions. I believe bookkeeping is more than recording transactions; it's about providing clarity, protecting the financial health of your business, and creating a strong foundation for long-term success.
After spending more than two decades leading businesses from the executive table, I'm excited to support entrepreneurs and growing companies in a more hands-on way. Whether you're a startup, an e-commerce business, or an established company, I'd love to become your trusted bookkeeping and finance partner.
Let's build your business with confidence—one accurate record, one financial report, and one success story at a time.
Proven sales and customer relationship leader with a track record of consultative selling, territory management, and CRM-driven pipeline strategy across Pharmaceuticals, Nutraceuticals, and Retail/FMCG. I bring the same customer-insight discipline to any business support role -- reading the "why" behind data, not just the numbers themselves.
Experience: 10+ years
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office 365, particularly Excel, built through 20+ years of budget monitoring, P&L tracking, and financial reporting at the senior leadership level. Skilled in building organized tracking systems, dashboards, and reconciliation frameworks from scratch — cross-checking sales vs. collections and expenses vs. cash on hand as a regular part of my financial oversight work. Comfortable across the full Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) for reporting, documentation, and presentation needs, alongside Google Workspace for seamless remote collaboration.
Experience: 2 - 5 years
Highly organized project and operations leader experienced in digital collaboration tools such as Notion, Trello, Slack, and Google Workspace. With a background in full P&L ownership and cross-functional team leadership, I bring structured, business-minded oversight to remote operations — ensuring tasks are delivered on time, budgets are respected, and communication stays clear across hybrid or remote teams.
Experience: Less than 6 months
I'm early in my dedicated bookkeeping journey, proficient in QuickBooks Online and Xero for reconciliation, financial reporting, and accounts payable/receivable. What sets me apart is 20+ years of senior business leadership experience --Director, GM, and VP-level roles with full P&L ownership across Pharmaceuticals, Nutraceuticals, Skincare, Diagnostics and Retail/FMCG. That background means I pick up bookkeeping systems and business logic quickly, and I bring real business judgment to every number, not just data entry. A UP Diliman Cum Laude graduate, I'm committed to giving clients accurate, organized financials they can fully trust.
