What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply hands-on bookkeeping, systems implementation (Xero), payroll and VAT expertise, improve processes and support management reporting.

I am an experienced bookkeeper with over two decades of hands-on practice in ledger management, payroll, VAT and CIS returns, and preparation of management and statutory accounts. I have implemented systems that improved visibility of project profitability and streamlined invoice processes.

At RB Builders Limited I set up a new company on Xero and introduced Projects to help the director monitor profit margins and cost control, and I produce job cost analyses, supplier payment runs and weekly payroll while ensuring HMRC submissions are accurate and timely.

Previously at Fitness Agents Limited I led the production of management accounts packs and financial results presentations, redefined the monthly sales invoice process to reduce processing time by 40%, managed credit control and maintained timely bank and balance sheet reconciliations.
