CAF-qualified CA student building audit-ready bookkeeping and finance operations expertise.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CAF-qualified Chartered Accountancy student at ICAP with practical experience supporting end-to-end bookkeeping, accounts operations, and accounting software workflows. I’m QuickBooks Certified and use advanced Excel to keep financial records accurate, documented, and audit-friendly.
In my current role as an Accounts & Operations Assistant, I maintain daily financial records, reconcile sales, cash, and expenses with 100% documentation accuracy, and manage accounts payable through supplier payment schedules and purchase tracking. I also monitor inventory costs, identify discrepancies, and provide periodic financial summaries while ensuring bookkeeping follows standard accounting practices.
Previously, I supported an international e-commerce business remotely as a Virtual Assistant for Operations & Administration and earlier as a Customer Support Representative. I handled order processing, vendor coordination, and digital record management across time zones, while resolving customer product and delivery issues through online channels with strong professional written communication.
Through my CA studies (Financial Accounting & Reporting, Taxation, Audit & Assurance, and more), I’ve developed a strong technical foundation and professional mindset. I’m now seeking an articleship position where I can apply my CA knowledge in a professional audit or finance environment.
