Is this better? I have no sage experience - payroll was done in Kronos and Peoplesoft. Finance was done in SAP.

I am a dedicated finance clerk who has 8 years’ experience in a busy office in providing customers with reliable and accurate service. During my time I have acquired and taught myself an advanced knowledge of excel and the best ways to extract relevant data. In my role I was very much a team player and helped to manage all the skills required by assisting and learning new ways where needed. By providing data using current procedures and my knowledge I have in preparing and organising reports it suited a variety of managerial needs. I provided reports for senior management, to allow them to prepare the company for the day, week and the month and this required an incredible attention to detail to ensure they had valuable and reliable information. I feel my skills and attention to detail will benefit your office and contribute to the efficient running of your business. In my career at XXXXXXX I worked full time for 13 years going from starting as a warehouse picker and progressed to finance clerk and analyst. Here I was responsible for implementing a new SAP purchasing system and training other staff on how to use it. All of these finance functions were done using Microsoft Excel as a base by using formulas and linking to various files to get the information into a relevant format for each manager to use and understand in a format relevant to the individual.
I enjoy long distance cycling and among my proudest achievements was completing a London to Paris charity ride to raise money for the charity Scope and attracted national media coverage for what people with disabilities can achieve. I was asked to give a speech at a celebratory dinner in Paris due to my nature of determination and finding alternative methods of achieving the same results.
WORK EXPERIENCE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Jun 2016-Oct 2016
Planning Assistant
Responsibilities
The job involves planning the workforce around the daily and weekly availability based on estimated and actual work levels. I have never done this job before but have managed, through logic, to create, adapt and correct spreadsheets to make the job more accurate and easier to manage. It was working for XXXXXXXXXXX in XXXXXXXXXXX to supply to XXXXXXXXX something that is of a high level of service, accuracy and efficiency. The role I left due to a job offer for a more suitable role to my skills. Unfortunately, the company lacked integrity and the role fell through. Since then I have been proactively reconstructing my CV and evaluating my circumstances to gain a role I desire.

Finance Clerk
Responsibilities:
Account reconciliation ensuring everything was recorded and accounted for flawlessly.
Business reporting included all things in finance from reporting to processing orders on the various systems. This reporting was used by senior management to project costs for the week or month or even year. Procurement and acquisition of various items to ensure the company was prepared at all times and in all eventualities was a key part. I had sole responsibility for learning a new system which was implemented and all the flaws had been reported and resolved before training out to the finance team.
Every month purchase order ledger recording was done to allow the business to accrue costs which proved beneficial in projecting cost output for senior management.
Petty cash was recorded and dealt with on an ad-hoc basis whilst maintaining availability to provide cash securely using suitable security and following company procedure. This recording was dealt with according to HMRC procedures requiring honesty, reliability and integrity.
Dealing with in-house external companies in providing payment for their service but also providing them with the equipment necessary to continue to provide a great service.
Transport was also a responsibility in ensuring load sheets were created using GDS so drivers left with the correct loads on time and flexibility was needed to ensure that all targets were met with the available work force whilst ensuring the equipment to complete the task was available.
Operations room experience was gained using GDS in outbound and inbound operations relating to producing relevant accurate paperwork and liaising with the warehouse to secure resolutions to any problems that were encountered.
In 2015 I was also responsible for working as part of a national wages project away from home for 3 months which needed me to be accurate, flexible and punctual whilst maintaining an open mind to the problems that would be encountered and putting forward suggestions for a possible fix to senior management. I provided valuable feedback on how best to proceed and identifying problems and suggesting resolutions. The systems used were Kronos and Peoplesoft.
