My position at Dace Motor Company is a temporary 3 month measure to organise and work through the ledger to correct discrepancies and to match payments. I work to improve the accuracy of financial data by conducting thorough checks and balances to ensure data matches efficiently.

My KPIs at Rotec are closing the purchase ledger, this is ensuring all invoices are on the system against the correct Purchase Order. Bank Reconciliation, posting all bank payments and receipts to the ledger under the correct nominal code. Payment Run, I complete and upload the payment run to the bank for directors approval. Ledger Review, this is looking at invoices in dispute and resolving/chasing the queries so we aren’t holding back payment. Personal Expenses, I review and submit employees personal expenses which are being claimed back before payroll process begins. Credit Cards, I organise, review, and allocate the receipts I receive from the credit card holders of the company. This job has given me a wider perspective of a financial role including bank reconciliations which I haven’t previously had included in my tasks. I have also implemented some company savings strategies

My responsibilities as an AP associate consist of managing my work effectively to meet supplier requirements. I am continually building relationships with suppliers via email and working to ensure their account is up to date and is compatible with what is on our ledger, whilst working through ledger reviews to avoid incorrect data and information being on the ledger. I work with Excel on a day to day basis and also work with Sage through invoice processing. Being a high performer on the team, I have picked up extra tasks, this includes; generating the tasks statistics daily, organising overtime, submitting overtime to our expenses team, coding invoices, distributing our work from home rota per week, andparticipating in first checks in payment runs. I have found these tasks to be what a team leader would do and will assist in opportunities that consist these tasks.

Working part-time at Mcdonald’s developed a lot of communication skills with other employees and customers. High demand is received daily at the work place of Mcdonald’s, making me familiarised with high demand, hard work, and team work. I also adhered to strict hygiene protocols while handling food ensuring safety at all times.
