Personal Profile
I am a well-organized, reliable individual, conscientious, hardworking and quick and eager to learn to progress to the next

Qualifications
BPP Distance Learning - Fully Qualified CIMA
Burton Technical College - AAT
- IAB Levels 2 & 3 in Payroll
Achievements
• Cash Converters has expanded rapidly in the last few years with new stores opening and the introduction of
personal finance meaning that the systems supporting this were left behind. I have liaised with the IT
department in Australia to automate the daily transactions that take place in store automatically enter our
finance system, Dynamics. This has enabled us to reduce costs by not needing a member of staff to manually
input the daily transactions for each corporate store, as well as being able to produce reports much quicker
with fewer mistakes.
• To ensure that the Balance sheet is correct, I have computerized the balances taken from the CCPOS system
into excel which then produces the journal with very little human input to remove the possibility of typing
error. This sees that some of the balance sheet reconciliations are completed before month end deadlines and
profits aren’t under / over stated.
• Harewood Operations went from a weekly payroll process to a fortnightly process which I was responsible for
communicating to each of the 280 staff, incorporating new processes to ensure that double the data could be
input in the same time without effecting people’s pay. In addition all changes were then made on the Sage system
by myself.
• Whilst working at AstonVauxhall I installed a BACS payment facility so that payment by cheque was no longer
needed, saving time for me and the signatory to sign each individual cheque.
