PERSONAL STATEMENT
A dedicated finance clerk who has 8 years experience in a busy office willing to join a team of professionals in providing our customers with reliable and accurate service. Providing data using current procedures and my knowledge I have in preparing and organising reports to suit a variety of managerial needs. I provided reports for an average of 15 people per day, to allow them to prepare the shifts for the day, week and the month. I feel my skills and attention to detail will benefit your office and contribute to the efficient running of the finance side of your business. My career at Asda I worked full time for 13 years from starting as a warehouse picker and progressed to finance analyst where I was responsible for implementing a new SAP purchasing system and training other staff on how to use it. I am a keen motorsports fan and that culminated in being EMRA F600cc motorcycle champion. I now 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.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Asda Stores LTD 2002-2015
Finance Clerk
Responsibilities:
Account reconciliation ensuring everything was recorded and accounted for flawlessly.
Business reporting included most things in finance from recording and processing orders on the various systems. This reporting was also 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 as I had sole responsibility for a while whilst a new system was implemented and all the flaws were settled before training out to the team.
Every month purchase order ledger recording was done to allow the business to accrue costs which proved beneficial in projecting cost output.
Petty cash was recorded and dealt with on an adhoc basis whilst maintaining availability to provide cash securely. This recording was dealt with according to HMRC procedures.
Dealing with the in-house companies in providing payment but also providing them with the equipment necessary to provide a great service.
Transport was also a responsibility in ensuring drivers left with the correct loads on time and flexibility was needed to ensure that all targets were met with the available work force.
Operations room experience was gained 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.
