Detail-oriented Assistant Accountant with expertise in financial management.
What I'm looking for
I am an Assistant Accountant with extensive experience in an accountancy firm, where I honed my skills in financial analysis, bookkeeping, tax preparation, and client management. My journey began at Sytner BMW, where I managed financial records and reconciled accounts, significantly reducing month-end closing times. I take pride in maintaining impeccable records and contributing to error-free audits, ensuring that financial data is accurate and up-to-date.
Currently, I work as an Accounts Assistant at Grosvenor Partners, where I record financial transactions using accounting software such as Xero, Quickbooks, and Sage. I assist in payroll preparation and ensure compliance with local tax regulations by preparing VAT returns and financial statements. My attention to detail and commitment to efficiency have allowed me to implement strategies that enhance financial reporting processes and support budget planning initiatives.
I am eager to explore freelance or part-time opportunities that allow me to apply my expertise in accounting and help businesses manage their financial needs effectively. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and ready to assist with various accounting tasks on a flexible schedule.
