Accountant focused on UK VAT compliance, bookkeeping, and accurate financial reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Accountant who enjoys turning messy transactions into clean, compliant reporting. I’ve built my career around preparing VAT returns, maintaining client bookkeeping, and supporting month-to-month financial accuracy.
In my FinanceIntern role at Envoy Ortus (PVT) Ltd, I monitored accounts payable aging, assisted with cash flow projections, and reviewed expenses for compliance with accounting standards. I also managed petty cash with proper recording and control, and escalated issues to seniors when needed.
At ATS Associate (PVT) Ltd, I prepared quarterly VAT returns for UK clients by reviewing bank transactions and supporting sales and expense invoices. I performed bank reconciliations, submitted VAT returns to HMRC upon client approval, and communicated with clients to resolve routine VAT and accounting queries.
Today, I prepare annual accounts for UK SMEs in line with accounting standards and support tax work including Self Assessment tax returns within statutory deadlines. I bring strong attention to detail, the ability to meet deadlines under pressure, and a team-first mindset.
