JOSHUA BOTERA

Brisbane,QLD

Summary

Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. I’m a 19-year-old student and have just commenced the second year of my Commerce degree (majoring in Accounting and Finance) at The University of Queensland. I am very hard-working, and energetic, and always see the brighter side of things. Staying positive is one of my core values which I translate into both my personal life as well as working life.

I am constantly looking to improve myself and broaden my horizons to become the best version of myself, and to be seen as an asset by my employer. I have a genuine passion for accounting and would cherish the opportunity to gain experience working in the field. My dream would be to gain employment in auditing, to achieve my chartered accounting qualifications and become a fixture in a team of great people. Moreover, my careful and articulate nature would excel in auditing. However, I am open to working in all service fields of accounting and would be grateful for any opportunities.
