Shaima Hassani

I am a recent Accounting and Finance graduate from Bournemouth University, looking to start my career in accounting in a trainee, graduate or accounts assistant role. During my degree, I developed a good understanding of financial accounting, management accounting and financial reporting. I also gained practical experience using Sage Business Cloud Accounting and Excel for tasks such as transaction processing, bank reconciliations, trial balances, cash flow forecasts and financial statements.

I am keen to continue learning, gain practical experience and work towards a professional accounting qualification such as ACCA or ACA.
