Bio
Darvinder Bhamra
Marika and I started our new roles at Aartee around the same time. She started earlier in the year as an accounts assistant and the potential was seen in her ability so was given the role of assistant accountant a few months later. She has come such a long way in the 10 months, always questions why we are doing what journal or process rather than just doing it each month. She has taken the challenge of month end and being the Bright Bar assistant accountant on and has been self sufficient for the last few months even without having done a role like this before. Well done Marika proud to have you on my team.

Dec 2021 - Feb 2022
When I have approached Fablink Uk I faced with old accounts system like IMPACT and EPICOR which doesn't give you the simple tools like the most updated (Sage 50, Xero etc)very distressed ledger like duplicate invoices, missing invoices, payment on accounts setting on the ledger and never allocated to a relative invoice/cr since 2012 mostly of the suppliers accounts not reconciled with statements, many discrepancies due a fact that a remittance advice was never raised after a payment also the 4 inter-company accounts massed up.I managed to sorted out implementing a specif process in place and tools where I started to dig into each supplier account, mirror with statement and activity history from both side, requested invoices ,starting to create a spreadsheet using Excel, remittance advice, adjust the ledger transactions, include all the due or outstanding invoices at the Month end. The Financial Manager appriciated my works and all the progress achieved. The main tasks involved: Contact suppliers to update them about balance payments. • Reconcile all bank accounts and resolve all issues in processing the financial statements. • Preparing month end journals and reconciliations for general ledger accounts. • Update internal accounting databases and spreadsheets. • Create and manage daily paperwork for mailing as well as invoicing. • Assist all accountants and prepare all cash flow reports and data.

During my time over here, I performed diverse range of tasks. By utilizing my communication skills, I interacted with suppliers and customers on a regular basis. I was pretty much successful in identifying client needs and provided them robust service accordingly. I also manage invoicing process related to sales transactions. My managers instructed me to document everything, so on a consistent basis, I crafted weekly reports and kept them updated. Furthermore, I was responsible for: - generating credit note - accruals - payroll I maintained accurate inventory records through regular stock counts. Through utilization of my analytical skillset, I handled / controlled cash and bank balances as well as managed petty cash. I consider myself a leader who can supervise the teams working at the restaurant so that day-to-day operations can be executed seamlessly. Show less
