    In my capacity as a Financial Accountant, I streamlined the monthly payroll process for six entities with over 500 employees. My daily tasks included cashflow management and bank statement reconciliations, as well as processing journals to ensure accurate balance sheet reconciliations. I oversaw the review of supplier batches for input into Pastel Accounting and generated comprehensive reports for management.

    In this role, I evaluated ad hoc Pastel journals and invoice batches for processing while managing creditor expenses and supplier lists to reduce spending. I compiled management accounts, oversaw general ledger management, and reconciled accounts for seven small-to-medium sized entities.

I also reconciled and processed creditors’ payments, implemented policies and procedures to enhance operations, prepared VAT and Dividends Tax returns, and assisted in the creation of monthly reporting packs for area and executive management.
