What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated and ambitious professional with a strong background in accounting and finance. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Accountant at Elephant Teams in Melbourne, where I conduct ASIC annual reviews and perform daily bookkeeping and bank reconciliations. My commitment to accuracy ensures that clients face no late penalties, and I take pride in preparing quarterly activity statements for GST accuracy.

Previously, I held the position of Senior Operation and Finance Executive at European Specialist Parts, where I managed budgeting, reporting, and auditing functions. My experience with various accounting software, including MYOB, QuickBooks, and Xero, has equipped me with the skills necessary to handle complex financial tasks efficiently. I am passionate about contributing to team goals and continuously improving financial processes.
