Summary
Client focused client services manager with auditing experience, looking for a new position that I can really make a difference to everyone I help. I began working at 16 before I had even gotten my GCSE results and qualified as a chartered accountant at 22. I am hardworking, driven and committed. The thing I value most is honesty, I recognise things do not always go right but the art of being able to hold your hands up and say sorry is one that is too often forgotten. I enjoy training junior members of staff and would love to work somewhere with a good team spirit.
I see my future to be in accountancy rather than audit and am open to all opportunities.
