Work History

Financial Accountant

Sterling BCM Limited
09.2022 - Current
  • I have been trained in preparing year-end accounts for a diverse range of clients, including retail businesses, construction firms, consultants, and property companies, all with turnovers exceeding £1 million. My role has also expanded into self-assessment, primarily focusing on rental accounts, to further prepare me for handling tax inquiries.
  • In addition, I am currently responsible for preparing over 35 VAT returns each month. I efficiently compile and finalise all necessary invoices ensuring accuracy and timeliness. I have guided junior team members with my knowledge of the VAT topic, and a practical setting motivates me to contribute effectively to the success of a dynamic team.
  • As part of my responsibilities, I proactively communicate with clients to ensure strict HMRC deadlines are met, which I do both verbally and in writing. I have willingly extended my working hours to guarantee that all deadlines are achieved, which has consistently resulted in high client satisfaction.
  • Looking ahead, I am eager to expand my skills with accounting software, like Xero, to comply with the movement towards MTD.
