What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role focused on reconciliations, receivables, and bookkeeping in a collaborative environment that values accuracy and growth.

I am a dedicated accounting professional with hands-on experience in debtors' management, accounts receivable, and bookkeeping using PASTEL. I prioritize accuracy, timely follow-up on outstanding accounts, and strong organizational control.

In my recent role as Reconciliations Administrator, I reconciled bank statements and cash-stop systems, maintained accounts and fixed asset records, and supported bi-annual stock takes and third-party due diligence. I produce monthly reports and ensure reconciliation processes run smoothly across teams.

Previously, as a Branch Teller and Accounts/Admin Clerk, I processed remittances, ensured compliance of customer documentation, managed invoicing and collections, and generated debtor reports using Pastel. I also have experience preparing payroll, tax filings (PAYE and VAT), and balancing cash flows.

I am completing a BSc (Hons) in Accounting (Level 4, 2025) and bring strong attention to detail, client-focused service, and experience supervising junior staff to ensure accurate financial operations and improved collections performance.
