What I'm looking for

I want to continue progressing within a finance career while taking on increasing responsibility.

At Miers Construction Products, I prepare management reports and analyse monthly P&L results, investigating variances and financial trends. I provide Heads of Department with budget-versus-actual reports and support the annual budgeting process.

I partner with Sales Directors on analysis of their teams’ financial and commercial performance, and share financial insight with stakeholders to support decision-making. I also maintain the CAPEX register and prepare cash flow forecasts.

At London Internet Exchange, I prepared month-end results, reconciled balance sheets across five companies and produced board reporting on debtor performance. I participated in and led the finance-side involvement in implementing a new billing system, and supervised and supported a junior accountant.
