Summary

I am a warm, friendly person with a very good sense of humour. I enjoy working with others as part of a team, but I am also able to work independently. I have many years of experience in both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. When I started working for BestStart, I was part of the Accounts Payable team, but then I was given the opportunity to take over the role of Accounts Assistant, which I really enjoyed. I am both willing and able to learn new things.
