Summary

I work well within an organisational structure, pay attention to detail, am strongly task orientated, and am accustomed to meeting tight deadlines. I am often used as a trouble shooter and can be relied upon to honour commitments and follow through. I am adaptable and flexible, cope well working under pressure and remain calm in crises. I relate well to both clients and colleagues and approach my work in a professional manner. I actively strive to uphold the ethical standards of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ)
