What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster career growth and allow me to leverage my accounting skills in a dynamic environment.

I am an AAT-qualified accountant with six years of experience in bookkeeping, payroll, and accounts preparation. My career has been marked by a commitment to efficiency improvements and a proactive approach to utilizing automation in financial processes. I have successfully managed payroll operations for over 150 clients, ensuring compliance and accuracy while leading a team of four. My leadership experience includes overseeing payroll processing, pension administration, and CIS returns, which has honed my skills in both independent and team collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable industry experience working within in-house accounts teams and have played a key role in integrating new accounting software solutions. I am currently pursuing my ACCA qualification, which reflects my dedication to continuous professional development. My ability to communicate effectively with clients and provide tailored financial reports has significantly improved their financial management and oversight of debtors and creditors.
