Bio
Lucy Tomlinson
Carla was a great team member to have. She is diligent and professional with a positive attitude and was always willing to provide help within the team where needed, particularly with Excel!
Rebecca Jones
I’d have no hesitation in recommending Carla to future employers and it’s been a pleasure working with her for 9 years. Carla is a quick learner picking up new systems with ease and she always looks to further her knowledge, which she shares with the team. Carla is technically sound and always willing to help out, never batting an eyelid at complex reconciliation or audit deliverable requests.
