Thrapston,United Kingdom

Summary

Passionate and dedicated individual with good problem solving skills.


As someone with a curious mind I enjoy challenging myself, I am constantly looking for new ways to better myself.


I enjoy working on my own or as part of a team and thrive in fast paced environments, I like learning new things and gaining new skills.


I am keen to use my learnt skills and eager to contribute to a company's success and feel I have the qualities required to do this.


After completing my diploma in business I decided to enrol myself on a AAT course with Premier Training which I am self-funding, I am currently working towards my level 2 qualification which I am aiming to complete by the end of August. I am very committed to learning and enjoy gaining new knowledge and skills which I believe are necessary to succeed in this field.

While studying, I am also working part-time for an Insurance company in the home improvement industry. Balancing my studies and work has meant I have developed good time management skills and have learnt how to prioritize my work effectively, ensuring that I consistently deliver quality work on time.


In addition to my problem-solving skills, I am a strong communicator with excellent interpersonal skills. I enjoy building and maintaining positive relationships with both internal teams and external clients. My sociable disposition allows me to connect easily with people


Although I do not have any prior experience in an accountancy environment I have always had a interest in accountancy and after completing my diploma in business I knew this was the career I wished to pursue.


I believe my academic background, ongoing studies, and work experience provide me with a strong foundation to quickly adapt and thrive. I am eager to apply my skills, energy, and enthusiasm to this trainee role and would love the opportunity to contribute to the success of your company.
