Summary
Over the span of my Accounting career I have progressed from being a Trainee , learning how to prepare Tax Returns etc, to being in charge of the Accounting firm. This has lead me to be the person responsible for clients work ranging from Tax return preparation to many different types of special projects that enable the client to progress.
I have also taken on two roles over this time on behalf of clients:

This position requires me to be responsible for convening meetings of the Board of Directors and taking minutes of those meetings. During the course of those meetings my financial expertise is utilised to assist the Directors with any Financial records that me be brought up in the meeting.
2. Financial Controller of Port Hunter Conveyors Pty Limited for the period 12 Oct 2016 to 19 Dec 2018. The position required me to report to management on a range of financial matters, including monthly reporting financial reporting, as well as investigating specific areas of concern, negotiating with Banks and other financial matters.
