Talha Khan

Recent Accounting and Finance graduate with solid academic knowledge and practical exposure to bookkeeping, tax returns and financial reporting, now looking for an opportunity to start my career in accounting and finance. As a new graduate, I may not have many years of experience, but I am a fast learner, eager to take on responsibility and prove myself in a professional environment. I quickly pick up new systems and processes, including Excel, Sage and Xero, and I am committed to becoming a specialist in the areas I have studied by working hard, asking questions and continuously improving.

My background in customer-facing and operational roles shows I can be reliable, professional and focused while meeting deadlines and supporting the wider team.
