About

I am an Admin & Finance Professional with over six years of experience supporting business operations, financial processes, and supplier management. My career so far has given me hands-on expertise in invoicing, accounts payable/receivable, Sage Accounting, Excel, and QuickBooks, along with the ability to streamline administrative workflows and ensure financial accuracy. I hold a UK-accredited BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Business, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in strategy, financial management, and people management. I am also currently studying towards a Bachelor of Accounting Science in Internal Auditing, as I build a career in assurance, risk, and compliance. What sets me apart is my blend of practical finance skills, international academic grounding, and continuous professional development. I thrive in detail-driven environments, and I am motivated by roles where I can contribute to organisational efficiency while growing into internal auditing and risk management. I am open to opportunities in finance support, bookkeeping, auditing, and compliance, including remote and international roles, where I can apply my skills and continue developing as a well-rounded finance professional.
