• Jul 2015 - Oct 2016

Working in a start up electricity retailer gave me experience in all aspects of the company. I developed some key accounting skills such as accounts receivable and accounts payable processing, financial reporting to the board and supplier reconciliations. My role is as the accountant but incorporated a much wider range of activity. I have had to be solutions oriented as the company grew we ran in to many unforeseen problems with no prescribed solutions. I am very involved in process development, and have to use my knowledge of all aspects of operations in order to create standardised processes for the company and create manuals for future employees, I am also involved project management – liaising with third parties (primarily in IT) to manage projects. As a small company though I am also working in customer services, inbound sales, metering and industry reporting.
