Summary
I am a conscientious Bookkeeper & Administration Assistant with experience in general bookkeeping, including sales and purchase ledger management, invoice processing and credit control. I am Xero, Sage and Microsoft Suite adept.
I took a hiatus from work to be a stay at home mum from 2016 - 2022, before deciding to take up new roles within my local community, helping to fundraise for causes whilst hosting free for all baby and parent classes, both of which brought great job satisfaction.
