Motivated and ambitious having successfully completed ACCA and AAT, I have a great ability to work under my own initiative and can also work well within a team. I’m eager to learn and develop new and current skill set and would like to gain as much knowledge as possible within fund accounting and the business environment as a whole. I'm precise and have strong attention to detail with experience in meeting deadlines without compromising the quality of my work.
