What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, emphasizes teamwork, and values financial integrity.

I am a dedicated Accounts Officer with nearly two years of experience in accounts payable and receivable within the public sector. My journey has been marked by a strong commitment to personal growth and a keen ability to thrive in fast-evolving environments. I take pride in my attention to detail and my enthusiasm for contributing to a company's success through my expertise in financial processes.

Currently, I work at the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, where I manage the sales invoice process, ensuring prompt payments and compliance with established procedures. My role involves validating employee expense claims, maintaining supplier databases, and enhancing our financial systems. I am adept at using various accounting software, including Sage 1000 ERP and Microsoft Excel, to streamline operations and improve efficiency.

With a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Accounting from Brunel University London, I have developed a solid foundation in financial analysis and econometrics. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in my next role, contributing to the financial health and operational success of my future employer.
