I am an experienced and highly qualified candidate who is able to drive profitability
improvement through strategic growth, financial planning, and quality management. As a
recent graduate from the University of Northampton, I have vast knowledge in the field with a
track record of executing accounting services and successfully passed a VAT audit for a
previous firm. Overall, I particularly enjoy being part of a team, but am more than capable of
working on my own. Right now I am looking for a suitable leadership position in accounts
with a market-leading, high-growth company that offers opportunities for advancement into
management.
