What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply Xero and Excel skills to improve processes, ensure compliance, and support timely reporting in a collaborative team-focused environment.

I am a detail-oriented Finance Assistant with hands-on experience managing bookkeeping for multiple entities and maintaining accurate financial records using Xero and Excel.

At Just Hype I processed sales and expense invoices, performed daily bank reconciliations, posted accruals and prepayments, and supported month-end reporting and VAT returns, improving reporting accuracy and month-end efficiency.

Previously I managed admissions, attendance, and financial records in education roles, improving attendance tracking and financial record accuracy while enhancing communication between staff, parents, and suppliers.

I bring strong organizational skills, a focus on financial compliance, and a track record of identifying cost savings and strengthening supplier relationships to deliver timely, high-quality financial support.
