Finance coordinator with expertise in accounts payable and data analysis.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated finance coordinator currently working at The Mind Gym, I have honed my skills in accounts payable and financial management. My experience includes utilizing ERP systems to ensure timely and accurate payment processing while maintaining compliance with financial policies. I have a strong track record of conducting bank reconciliations, identifying discrepancies, and delivering insightful presentations to stakeholders, which have led to improved financial processes.
Previously, I worked as a market researcher at IFF Research, where I developed my analytical skills by conducting financial data analysis to inform investment decisions. My ability to handle challenging situations and engage effectively with respondents has been instrumental in my success. Additionally, my role as a flooring and tiling advisor at B&Q allowed me to leverage my customer service skills and product knowledge to exceed sales targets consistently.
With a BSc in Finance and Management from Loughborough University, I am passionate about applying my knowledge of financial principles and ethical decision-making in practical business scenarios. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic team where I can further develop my skills and drive impactful financial outcomes.
