Jacqui Wynne

Hi, I'm Jacqueline (Jacqui) Wynne, an experienced bookkeeper and accounts assistant based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Having worked my way up to finance manager at a reputable, national charity I stepped back into more local roles when my children were born. I have since rebuilt my career with several local businesses, with my high levels of organisation and productivity making me a key asset for any business.

I am now in the process of looking for my next step due to the closure of my current workplace.
