ABOUT ME

I am a Finance and Accounting graduate with a BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance (2:1), currently building hands-on experience within a finance environment as an Invoice Clerk. Alongside my academic background, I have developed practical exposure to invoice processing, data management and finance administration using Sage X3, supported by strong Excel capability including PivotTables and VBA.

I am at the early stage of my finance career and motivated to progress into a structured finance role where I can continue learning, develop professionally and build a long-term career within accounting. I am naturally interested in how finance operates within real business settings and enjoy turning detailed data into accurate, meaningful information.

LOOKING FOR

I am looking for an entry-level finance position such as Accounts Assistant, Finance Assistant, Sales Ledger or Purchase Ledger role, where I can develop my technical skills and gain broader exposure to finance operations.

My aim is to join a supportive finance team where I can learn from experienced professionals, take on increasing responsibility and progress towards starting my CIMA studies in the near future. I am keen to build a solid foundation in accounting while contributing positively to a busy finance function.

IMPORTANT TO ME

I value doing things properly, taking pride in accuracy and producing work that others can rely on. I enjoy structure, clear processes and working towards deadlines, and I am particularly motivated when I can see how my work contributes to the wider team or business.

I am also very keen on continuous learning and personal development. Starting my career in finance is something I take seriously, and I am committed to building strong technical knowledge while growing in confidence and capability.

INTERESTS

I enjoy working with numbers and solving problems, particularly where attention to detail is important. I find it rewarding to understand how information fits together and to ensure accuracy in everything I work on.

Outside of finance, I have a strong interest in sport and coaching. I provide 1-to-1 football coaching for young people, helping them develop skills, confidence and teamwork. I have also supported community and youth projects, which has helped me build communication skills, patience and the ability to work with a wide range of people.
