Detail-oriented accountant with extensive experience in financial management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated accounting professional with over five years of experience in various accounting roles. My journey began as an Accounting Trainee at Cresta Lodge, where I honed my skills in creditors and debtors management. Since then, I have progressed through positions such as Junior Bookkeeper, Bookkeeper, and Assistant Accountant, gaining valuable insights into financial processes and compliance.
At Cheese Galore TA The Cheeseman, I excelled as an Assistant Accountant, managing cashbook processing, supplier payments, and monthly reconciliations. My proficiency in accounting software like Pastel and IQ Retail has enabled me to streamline operations and ensure accuracy in financial reporting. I am committed to continuous professional development, currently pursuing my Strategic Business Reporting qualification with ACCA.
