Rewathy Mathialagan

I am a hard-working, meticulous, and organised Accounts Assistant, Bookkeeper, and Payroll Assistant with over ten years of experience in UK accountancy practices. My responsibilities have included VAT returns, year-end accounts preparation, payroll, general bookkeeping, and more. I excel as a team player, enjoying collaborative work to meet deadlines and achieve targets.

Additionally, I possess the independence and experience to complete tasks autonomously. I am eager to secure a new position where I can contribute long-term.
