Summary

I am currently a trainee accountant, working full time at McIntyre Dick & Partners and have been working in the Compliance team for a year. I started in January 2023, working as a business support administrator. In my role as a business support administrator I prepared GST returns, monthly creditors and bookkeeping services to specific clients. In November 2023, I moved to the compliance team where I now prepare annual accounts, tax returns and dividends.


I have full knowledge of Xero, XPA/APS, excel and some knowledge around Farm Focus and Figured.


I have been studying part time since 2021 and am making the shift to finish my bachelor of accounting full time at Ara in Christchurch early December.
