What I'm looking for

I’m looking to develop my career in accounting and finance and gain practical financial experience alongside my studies. I’m interested in roles where I can apply my numerical, analytical, and administrative skills while developing my knowledge of accounting and financial processes.

At the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), I review sensitive customer and financial information and assess evidence to support informed decisions.

I maintain accurate records across internal systems, investigate discrepancies, and resolve errors and outstanding queries while following departmental processes and data protection requirements.

Managing a high-volume caseload, I balance competing priorities and deadlines. I also communicate complex information to customers and colleagues and work with other teams to resolve cases.

At Birmingham city university, I’m studying Accounting and Finance, including financial accounting, management accounting, and financial reporting. I’m looking to build practical financial experience alongside my studies and develop a long-term career in finance.
