What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth in finance, with a supportive culture.

I am a highly motivated and ambitious individual with a Master's degree in Accounting and Finance from Anglia Ruskin University. My experience spans across customer service and finance sectors, where I have honed my skills in credit control, debt collection, and financial analysis. I thrive in both team environments and independent settings, consistently meeting strict deadlines and achieving set goals.

Currently, I work as a Credit Controller at Hyve Group, where I manage relationships with both UK and international clients, ensuring timely payments and addressing customer queries. My previous role at Aurora Managed Services Ltd allowed me to oversee over 300 clients, where I utilized my expertise in Excel and various accounting software to analyze ledgers and negotiate payment plans. I am dedicated to becoming fully ACCA qualified, further enhancing my professional capabilities.
