About

I am an experienced accountant who is ready for a new career challenge. My extensive experience of working for organisations in the commercial and charity sectors has developed my confidence in using my analytical skills as well as my ability to support managers and budget holders in understanding financial information. I am a results-driven individual with a clear track record of achievement: developing and implementing new financial controls and reporting tools, and devising innovative best-practice techniques adopted by accounting departments.
