Summary

Dynamic Accountant familiar with managing tight schedules, directing teams and overseeing closing processes. An extremely organised, self-motivated and dedicated team player with high professional and personal standards. Capable of communicating effectively, both written and orally, with clients and colleagues at all levels. With the experience and ability to be able to work as part of and lead a team I am able to meet and exceed demands placed on me or my team. As a mother of two, and for a long period of time as a single parent, due to spouses work commitments, I have managed and thrived under pressure.
