Summary
I am a motivated finance professional with over five years of experience in accounting roles and a solid foundation through ACCA-accredited qualifications, including the Level 4 Diploma in Accounting and Business. I have held positions as a Purchase Ledger Clerk and Assistant Financial Accountant, where I developed strong practical skills in invoice processing, reconciliations, VAT returns, and assisting in the preparation of statutory and management accounts.
I'm now looking to progress into an Assistant Financial Accountant or Assistant Management Accountant role, where I can leverage my analytical abilities, technical knowledge, and problem-solving skills. I bring a proactive mindset, a high level of accuracy, and a strong desire to grow within a supportive finance team while continuing my ACCA studies towards full qualification.
