• Accounts Assistant

  • Oct 2019 - Jul 2020

  Aqua Cooling Solutions has 2 other smaller companies, my role was to over see the accounts payable for Solutions. This involved passing invoices to the Sale's co-coordinators for approval, leasing with them and suppliers on any that were not able to be processed until the issues was resolved. Once invoices were approved and processed they would then be filled. In January 2020 this was adapted so that we could become paperless.... I reconciled supplier statements and requested any missing invoices along with preparing the payment run which was approved by the FD before running it on Sage and processing through HSBC. I have learnt about processing invoices in Euro's on to Sage and making sure the € rate is correct. One of the companies main supply is in Italy and I created a relationship with them to avoid the account going onto stop. The other part of my role was processing payroll for all 3 companies and all staff expenses. Whilst 2 of the companies are monthly salaried with little changes, one of the companies has staff that have monthly adjustments for over time and being on call which is processed in arrears. When I started this information was provided in an excel spread sheet from one of the service coordinators. In January I worked with the Operations Manager on generating a report from ConnectWise so that I can download this report., I would then check the report for anything that didn't look right before processing/They would also have holiday adjustments paid due to being on call and bonus for any income generated by the engineer's. Along with my main duties I have also been involved in writing up process's relating to my role, starting to create a Staff expenses policy with my FD and FC. Show less

PREMIERE COFFEE LIMITED

• United Kingdom
• Hospitality

• Senior Finance Assistant/Hr/Payroll Team Leader.

  • Aug 2012 - Aug 2019

  When I started with Premiere Coffee, a Costa Coffee franchise my main role was accounts payable for 26 stores. Other aspects of my role were to learn the roles of sales and payroll to cover when needed. I also worked closely with our Finance Manager as her number 2 to ensure the office continued to run smoothly when she was off. We also worked closely on various projects like Auto Enrollment for Pensions and ensuring the company was prepared for GDPR. As part of Accounts Payable I introduce a purchase order system,worked closely with suppliers, especially our main suppliers along with our store managers, sourced new suppliers and contracts. As the company grew so did the number of staff needed on Accounts Payable and so did my role in terms of training new colleagues, working with them to understand how they learn and work to ensure they are happy and that the company gets the best out of them. I believe learning about my colleagues and how they learn and work is the most important part of leading a team. I also believe everyday is a learning day. In the last year I was part of preparing information for the company to be successfully acquired by the Scoffs Group and become the largest Costa Franchise. In December 2018 having been asked by my manager and the company Operations Director I moved over to the HR/Payroll team due to a vacancy that came up. One of the contributing factors of why I was asked was my relationships with the Store Manager's/Operations Managers and feedback from store staff on how approachable I am. I soon realized how different covering for a colleague to doing the role full time was. Recently the team has successfully transferred the company from fortnightly payroll to a monthly payroll. I am very much a team player, carry out tasks outside my role and committed employee who is prepared to go above and beyond to ensure the smooth running of then company overall as without the stores I wouldn't have this opportunity.
