What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic organization that offers opportunities for professional growth and impactful contributions.

I am a highly skilled finance and accounting professional with over 13 years of progressive experience. My expertise lies in strategic financial analysis, client relationship management, and delivering detailed financial solutions under pressure. I have a proven track record in financial analysis, tax compliance, and client relations, which I have honed through various roles in the UK and Sri Lanka.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Accountant at Tax Assist Accountants, where I utilize my proficiency in accounting software such as QuickBooks, Zero, and IRIS to prepare and analyze financial records. I am dedicated to ensuring accuracy and compliance while providing strategic financial advice. My previous experiences have equipped me with the skills to manage HMRC cases effectively and supervise staff in accounting procedures.
