Summary

I am an ambitious, hardworking individual who is looking to further my knowledge and exposure in finance and become fully qualified. I am currently undergoing my CIMA qualification and look to complete this within the next 12-18 months.

Both Accounting and Finance are areas I am very passionate about, excelling in Maths at school I decided to progress this further, henceforth completing my AAT qualifications. As a result of this I have decided to venture into a career in Accounting and Finance with the intention of being qualified within the next 2 years and establishing myself within the finance department at a thriving business.

Outside the workplace, sport and fitness is a major impact on my life, it fills me with enjoyment and is something I am very passionate about. Playing football since a young age has made me more disciplined and as I progressed in education, it has given me a unique balance with both my personal life and studies.
