What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level accounting role focused on management reporting, statutory compliance and ERP-driven accounting within a collaborative team that supports professional growth and completion of my Chartered qualification.

I am a financial accountant with over six years of hands-on experience across retail and agricultural sectors, currently serving as an Assistant Financial Accountant where I prepare monthly management reports, maintain asset registers, and produce audit files. I focus on implementing financial controls and ensuring statutory compliance.

Previously I managed fertilizer and retail accounting operations at ETG Inputs and Borrowdale Foods, handling ERP entries, reconciliations, costing and statutory returns. I consistently supported month-end closes and improved the accuracy and timeliness of management accounts.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) degree and have completed Parts A and B of the Chartered Governance and Accountancy Institute programme, with Part C in progress. I bring strong Excel and SAGE ERP skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous professional development.
