Summary

To Whom it may concern


Prior to having children I was a Dental Nurse & then decided on a change which lead me into working with Credit Control. I became a Team Supervisor after 3 months & began managing a team of 15. At the same time attaining budgets and goals. This is still something I have strong skills with and love doing.


Then running my own Business for over 20 years in the Industry of Commercial Garden Maintenance/Landscaping has given me the knowledge and skills which assist in all aspects of Office Administration and Bookkeeping. Dealing with Commercial Clients & Properties Managers as well as working in an Office Environment on my own or with a Team.


I have ascertained strengths in many roles across the board. I was previously employed as a Part time Payroll Officer for 4 years which taught me many new skills again, in particular with a new software programme we intergrated to from Xero. This Payroll Software System is called HR3 & Templa. In my current position at Hastings we work with Workday, Chris21 & AX.


My honesty, punctuality, attention to detail, professionalism and strong commitment to any new job role would make me a perfect candidate for any new position. With my happy go lucky attitude and high standards I am confident I can meet any new challenge. I believe I would be an asset to your Company.


Working in an office environment with some flexibility and WFH options would suit me well. I slso have my own reliable transport and live close to CBD.


Thank you for taking the time to view my resume & will look forward to hearing from you soon.


Kind regards
