What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am an accounting professional with over three years of hands-on experience in bookkeeping and finance. My expertise lies in managing financial data, preparing accurate financial statements, and ensuring compliance with tax regulations. I have a strong background in using various accounting software systems, including Xero, SAP S/4 HANA, and QuickBooks, which allows me to streamline processes and support decision-making effectively.

Currently, I am advancing toward my Chartered Accounting Certification while completing the AAT Final Stage. My academic background includes a BSc(Hons) in Applied Accounting, where I graduated with a Second Class Upper Division. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with clients and manage complex financial tasks in fast-paced environments, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting.
