Hamaad Hassan

Ambitious Economics undergraduate at the University of Essex, on track for First Class Honours, with a strong foundation in data analysis, financial management, and regulatory compliance. Alongside academic study, I have demonstrated entrepreneurial initiative by founding and directing a registered e-commerce company, where I oversee budgeting, cash flow, and VAT obligations while driving growth through strategic pricing and supplier management. This experience has given me first-hand exposure to the practical application of financial principles and compliance requirements in a commercial setting. Earlier roles, including as a Sales Advisory, further strengthened my ability to communicate effectively with clients, resolve issues under pressure, and deliver results in target-driven environments. I am now seeking to apply this blend of academic rigour, business acumen, and client-facing experience in a tax-focused graduate role or internship, where I can further develop my expertise.
