What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and experienced part-qualified ACCA accountant with extensive expertise in accounts preparation across various sectors, including education, housing, media, and private finance. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Public Policy and Management from Kings College London, which has equipped me with a unique perspective on financial management and policy development.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to adapt and thrive in high-pressure environments. My roles have involved comprehensive management accounts preparation, cash flow forecasting, and inter-company management, showcasing my analytical skills and attention to detail. I am also committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my pursuit of a PhD in Public Policy.
Currently, I am seeking remote, freelance opportunities that align with my accounting expertise and my newfound knowledge in public policy. I am eager to contribute to organizations that value flexibility and innovation while supporting my career growth in both accounting and public policy fields.
