What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an accomplished accounting professional with over nine years of experience in financial reporting, accounts receivable, and reconciliation within multinational environments. My expertise lies in managing high volumes of transactions using advanced Excel, Oracle Financials, and Xero. I thrive under pressure, adeptly resolving discrepancies and contributing to month-end close processes.

In my recent role as a Client Accountant at Artex Risk Solutions, I prepared management accounts and statutory financial statements, ensuring compliance with UK GAAP and IFRS. My previous experience at AVIVA UK involved managing balance sheet reconciliations and submitting VAT returns, where I re-engineered reporting processes to enhance efficiency. I have a proven track record of collaborating with global teams and supporting remote operations, showcasing my strong communication skills and reliability.

I am currently seeking temporary, fully remote assignments where I can leverage my accounting skills and contribute to a collaborative and flexible work environment. I am available immediately and eager to make a positive impact in my next role.
