Accounting professional with 2+ years’ experience in reconciliations, reporting, and audit-ready controls.
What I'm looking for
I’m a diligent accounting professional with over 2 years of experience in financial record-keeping, reconciliations, and reporting. I’m known for processing high-volume transactions accurately, resolving complex queries quickly, and keeping accounts payable and receivable running smoothly.
In my recent role as an Accounting Assistant, I monitored and cleared open items daily, resolved reconciling entries and variances within strict 30-day timelines, and ensured accurate cash application. I performed daily and monthly reconciliations for customer accounts and inventory balances, reducing month-end variances while maintaining strong documentation.
I also supported accounts payable and receivable processes by addressing and resolving client and vendor payment queries in a timely, professional manner. I maintained strict internal controls over cash handling and banking procedures, supported weekly and monthly financial reporting, and helped ensure records were audit-ready at all times.
Alongside my accounting work, I’ve built a strong compliance and administration foundation through experience maintaining confidential information and following strict operational procedures. I bring practical VAT and PAYE preparation experience, payroll and petty cash support, and a detail-focused approach to investigation and stock accuracy.
