What I'm looking for

I’m eager to develop further and achieve ACCA or ACA chartered qualifications. I’m looking for a firm willing to support and mentor me through that challenge.

At Travel Vogue Ltd, I prepare monthly and quarterly financial reports for the CFO and head office. I also manage payroll processing and HMRC submissions, and assist with VAT returns and month-end processes.

I reconcile vendor statements, prepare cash flow forecasts and budgeting reports, and process bookings and payments using Sage Accounting and Dolphin Dynamics. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Accounting and Finance from Aston University and am eager to pursue ACCA or ACA chartered qualifications.
