What I'm looking for
I am an adaptable finance professional with extensive UK payroll and broader accounting experience, backed by an AAT diploma and over fourteen years in customer-facing and management roles.
I accurately process end-to-end payrolls, submit RTI reports to HMRC, manage auto-enrolment and pension contributions, and reconcile monthly payrolls using systems including IRIS and Sage Payroll.
My operational background includes financial control tasks such as banking, P&L preparation, supplier and invoice management, payroll forecasting, and month-end reconciliations, gained in hotel operations and support roles.
