Thabraise Shafiq

I am a QBE Accountant with over 10 years' experience working in an accountancy practice. I am a self-motivated and confident individual with a good sense of humour, which allows me to build positive working relationships. I am equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team, and I consistently demonstrate a strong work ethic.

I pride myself on being a quick learner with excellent time management skills, enabling me to adapt effectively to new tasks and meet deadlines with efficiency. I have experience working on various bookkeeping platforms such as, Excel, Xero, Sage, QB, Freeagent and DEXT.
