What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in accounting.

I am an extremely conscientious and enthusiastic accounting professional with a proven track record in bookkeeping and operations management. My experience includes working as a Bookkeeper/PA at Flag Shipping Services Limited, where I assisted in the preparation of company accounts, managed payment schedules, and performed bank reconciliations. My role required meticulous attention to detail and the ability to thrive under pressure, which I embraced wholeheartedly.

Previously, I served as an Operations Manager at XPlus London Limited, where I was recognized as the SME 2022 Business Winner. In this position, I prepared quarterly VAT returns, managed client communications, and implemented administrative systems that improved operational efficiency. My commitment to excellence and my ability to train and mentor interns have been key to my success in these roles.

Currently, I am pursuing my AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate in Accounting, which reflects my dedication to continuous professional development in the accounting field. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging new role that allows me to contribute to a dynamic team.
