Susan Ripley

During my employment within accounts I have always had to hit the ground running, as many roles have been through agencies. Most of the companies urgently required someone to assist with backlogs and implement new processes. I enjoy the challenge that this brings, and the multiple skills gained.

I have knowledge of Sales Ledger & Credit Control, Trading Profit and Loss, Balance Sheets and Financial Reporting, Budgets and Forecasting through my studies and some experience within these areas during my employment. I am confident of my understanding of these areas within accounting concepts, and I would like to expand my practical experience and skills.
