What I'm looking for

I seek accounting roles where I can manage full-charge bookkeeping, improve financial controls, prepare management accounts, and support audits—preferably permanent positions valuing accuracy and proactivity.

I am a full charge senior bookkeeper and accounting data analyst with over twenty years' experience across multiple sectors, specialising in tax, VAT, audits, reconciliations (GL/AR/AP), payroll and statutory filings.

I deliver month-end management accounts, audit-ready ledgers, bank reconciliations and discrepancy analysis, and have led accounting functions for multi-branch and multi-entity operations using QuickBooks, Xero, Pastel and Sage.

I am proactive, detail-driven and focused on improving financial performance and controls; I am available for contract, part-time, monthly, bi-monthly, yearly or once-off financial administration projects, with a preference for permanent roles.
