Hi everyone! 👋
I'm new to Contra and still figuring out how things work here. I'm an Accounting & Finance student starting my freelancing journey, and I'm learning as I go.
🔹 What I work with:
Excel Formulas: VLOOKUP, SUMIF, IF and more, for accounting and finance work
Bank Reconciliation
Financial Reporting
Data Cleanup & Organization
I'd love some help with a few questions:
How do clients actually find you on Contra?
Do you apply to projects, or do clients reach out to you directly?
What should I put on my profile and portfolio to get noticed as a beginner?
What worked (or didn't) for you in your first few weeks?
If you've been on Contra for a while, I'd really appreciate any tips. I'd also love to connect with other freelancers, especially those in accounting, finance, bookkeeping, and data work, and learn from your experiences.
Thanks in advance! 🙏

I spent today building out Omelette’s profile here: 18 work posts across four products, most of them short videos filmed straight from the prototypes, plus services and a new headline.
It’s been a fun way to look back at the work. If you’re new here too, or have tips for getting started on Contra, I’d love to hear them. Say hi!

Before you apply, check whether your résumé gives evidence for the job’s three main requirements.
Here’s a simple way to do it:
1. Pick one job posting and identify its most important skills and responsibilities.
2. Find a real example from your experience for each one.
3. Make those examples easy to find in your summary and relevant work-history bullets.
For example, if a role calls for staff training, explain who you trained, what you taught, and how you supported their learning. Add numbers only when you can verify them.
Use the employer’s wording when it accurately describes your experience. Keep your actual job titles, and leave out skills you haven’t used.

Hi everyone! I’m new to Contra and now available for Spanish SEO writing and editing projects.
I’ve been working with digital content since 2018, mainly across tech, fintech, B2B, iGaming, and sports betting. I especially enjoy taking complex topics and turning them into clear, useful content that feels natural in Spanish and actually matches what people are searching for.
I also work with content optimization, research, fact-checking, localization, and WordPress publishing for audiences in Spain, Latin America, and the US Hispanic market.
I’ve just added some of my work and services to my profile, and I’m open to ongoing collaborations and long-term projects.
