Lydia is a hardworking, experiensed professional with unique set of skills and loyalty towards her peers.
Will Dalton
I worked with Lidia for almost five years during my time as Finance Director at Hartford Care, witnessing her career develop from that of an Accounts Assistant to Management Accountant with responsibility for managing and leading the Accounts team. While working full-time, she progressed through her studies and exams to qualify as a member for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. She also successfully graduated through the company’s leadership and development programme, becoming part of the senior leadership team. As a highly organised individual, Lidia consistently demonstrated how to effectively manage and prioritise the transactional workload for her team – something that was essential when she was embedding in new acquisitions and streamlining processes with a view to ensuring standardised reporting to the weekly and monthly deadlines across the group. Lidia developed her analytical and communication skills in her key management information reporting role for the senior management team, along with the support and analysis she provided for the Home Managers with whom she developed an effective business partnering relationship. Her problem-solving skills and perseverance often came to the fore when dealing with system technical issues or dealing with the banks! She managed the system of internal controls within the finance function and was able to safeguard the integrity of the numbers to such an extent that we were able to succeed in having no pre-tax audit adjustments following the statutory audits – a process that she managed with aplomb. Lidia was a highly valued, reliable and consistent team member who always operated with a smile on her face which made the experience of working with her such a pleasure!
