What I'm looking for

I am seeking a bookkeeping or administration position where I can apply accurate bookkeeping, payroll and reconciliation skills within a collaborative team, with consistent hours, clear processes and opportunities to support audits and improve financial controls.

I am an experienced bookkeeper and administrator with a strong track record in accurate bookkeeping, bank reconciliations and payroll processing. I have worked across small companies and service providers, maintaining books to trial balance and preparing VAT, EMP501 and IRP5 schedules.

I regularly prepare VAT schedules and e-file, work with auditors at year-end to ensure figures are reconciled and allocated correctly, and run monthly payroll using programs such as QuickBooks, Pastel and Sage Online. I support creditor and debtor reconciliations and manage supplier payments.

My roles have included HR administration and client liaison, sourcing candidates and coordinating meetings, as well as reception duties and onsite client bookkeeping. I am disciplined, organized and detail-oriented, and I consistently deliver reliable month-end and audit-ready records.

I hold a QuickBooks Bookkeeping Certificate and a TEFL certificate, complemented by a Medical Secretarial diploma. I seek to apply my practical bookkeeping and administrative skills to support teams that value accuracy, clear processes and collaboration.
