## About

```text
I've supported accounting operations at Everest Cash and Carry, creating customer invoices, processing payments, updating stock records, and managing accounts receivable in Xero.

I also supported accounts payable by raising purchase orders, matching delivery notes to supplier invoices, and resolving discrepancies. My credit-control work included creating customer accounts, checking due dates, and following up on overdue payments.

As Treasurer of the Surrey University Nepalese Society, I managed the budget and doubled profits from the previous year. I also organised fundraising activities that generated over £600 for charity and coordinated events for up to 120 students.

My additional experience in retail, hospitality, and security has strengthened my cash handling, stock control, customer service, reporting, teamwork, and ability to work accurately in fast-paced settings.
