About

I am a highly organised and experienced Accounts and Office Administration professional with over 20 years' experience supporting Finance Directors, senior management and business owners. Proven expertise in bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, VAT, invoicing, reconciliations and office management, with a reputation for accuracy, reliability and professionalism. Following a career break to care full-time for my daughter after her premature birth and diagnosis of cerebral palsy, I successfully returned to employment in 2025.

My caring responsibilities strengthened my organisation, communication, resilience and problem-solving skills, all of which compliment my extensive finance and administration experience. My daughter is now an adult and going to university this year so I am now looking to secure a full-time position where I can make an immediate contribution to a business and continue developing my career.
