PROFILE

Self-motivated and with a strong working ethic, I take pride in maximising the business performance while striving to achieve individuals and common targets. Experienced to prioritise huge amount of workload while paying attention to details under pressure circumstances, I accept challenges with positivity and with a winning mind-set. Determined and eager to learn, I face the daily working activities with determination and focus.

My fast career progression allowed me to learn how to support and manage a team of sales advisors, work closely with senior managers and collaborate with the financial managers by balancing reconciliations and extracting key financial information to generate trade reports based on KPIs, CRM, SAP and trend analysis. Accordingly, it taught me how to build long lasting relationships with colleagues and clients and also improved my analytical and critical thinking skills. Currently studying Accounting and Management with Finance at Birkbeck University of London during the evening. Seeking to master my financial skills to be able to interpret, analyse and use business and financial data to implement decision making and drive sustainable growth. Actively looking for a new job experience in a fast-paced environment which will allow me to put in practice what I learn on a daily basis, develop my professional skills and pursue the CIMA/ACCA qualification along with my studies
