Andress Johnson
@andressjohnson1
I strengthen financial controls, reporting, and debt recovery across accounting and bookkeeping operations.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I've supported accounting and financial operations for more than 20 years, producing accurate records, management information, and reporting that supports business decisions.
At Media Drum Ltd, I managed day-to-day accounting, management accounts, financial statements, and performance reporting. I implemented a debt recovery strategy that reduced outstanding debts by 50% within six months while improving financial processes and controls.
At QA Liftrucks Ltd, I manage bookkeeping, reconciliations, monthly management reports, VAT returns, accounts payable, and fortnightly sales forecasts. I use advanced Excel, including PivotTables and VLOOKUP, to analyse credit control and outstanding balances.
My earlier work spans hospitality, healthcare, financial consultancy, and multiple client accounts. I'm continuing to develop my financial analysis and Power BI capabilities, with a focus on business performance and strategic financial insight.
