I have over 20 years experience of which the majority of the time has been in Finance. I have all the relevant knowledge and experience to manage and perform all day to day accounting functions as well as running a complex payroll for 400 employees. I have successfully managed to coordinate, implement and integrate various software projects for my existing employer so that the business could become more cloud based especially after the need arose due to the recent COVID pandemic. Amongst these are Xero Accounting, Zahara Purchasing, DEAR Manufacturing, Eco-Time and attendance and Pay Space payroll. Developing valuable insight and experience in managing projects. I have excellent reporting and analysis skills and I am proficient in using MS Excel, VlookUps and Pivot Tables. I have an eye for detail an enjoy undertaking new challenges. I also have a vast amount of additional experience in Procurement, Inventory Management and Supply Chain Management, which I feel would be a major advantage for any business that hires me.
