Summary I am a highly experienced accountant with an extensive background in a wide range of
industries. I am skilled in numerous financial and accounting fields, including
preparing annual budgets, monitoring key accounts and credit control. I also have
experience in leading and developing finance teams. My career achievements include
being able to turn around a number of poorly managed accounts with little or no hand-
over period. I am a highly motivated and results-driven individual and previous
employers have consistently commented on my professional ability and strong work
ethic. I am confident to work as part of a large or small team, as well as independently,
and would fit seamlessly into any finance department. In summary, I can offer a
company a wealth of experience and am looking for a position where I can excel and
achieve my potential.
