• Support Centre Management Accountant

  • Oct 2008 - Jun 2011

  Through a second internal promotion within Craegmoor, I was given the opportunity to move over to the Management Accounts function. Duties here in my current role include producing monthly management accounts packs for the cost centres within our Support Centre, balance sheet reconciliations, ad-hoc project work, fixed assets analysis and any other financial analysis as required. I have built good working relationships with the budget holders here and also attend and present the figures for quarterly accounts reviews to the Chief Executive Officer and Financial Director. Budget preparation for the Support Centre cost centres is also one of my main responsibilities and more recently, I have just taken over the responsibility of producing the weekly performance figures for the Company.

• Internal Auditor

  • Oct 2007 - Sep 2008

  Through internal promotion within Craegmoor, I moved into the internal audit function, which involved looking after the twice-yearly financial auditing of our care homes in Wales and the West of England. Duties included performing financial audits checking petty cash, clients monies and clients bank accounts as well as ensuring the homes were adhering to company policy and procedure. After visiting each home I produced written audit reports based on a five-star rating including recommendations for each point. Any homes receiving a 2* rating or below would receive a follow up visit, and any necessary action taken until the required standards were achieved. This role also involved an element of fraud investigation along with the Fraud Investigations Manager whenever suspicious activity arose in one of the care homes I covered. Show less

• Cashier Clerk

  • Sep 2004 - Sep 2007

  I moved from A C Engineering to work at the Shared Service Centre for Craegmoor Healthcare, which centralises all accounts work for the Care Homes around the country that Craegmoor owns. I moved onto this position to extend the accounting knowledge I gained at A C Engineering, and to take a path that was more accounts orientated. This position was more specialised and in depth than before, and involved more emphasis on Bank Reconciliations. My responsibilities included: raising cash cheques for homes to use as petty cash, looking after clients' monies, banking cheques, reconciling the bank accounts at the end of each accounting period, booking nominal cash and bank charges, month and year end procedures and playing a part in a new piece of expenses software called Requisoft. I was deeply involved with this piece of software, from its day to day maintenance to running reports to analyse the information, to going out to the homes to provide training. My team also offered telephone support for homes that are having particular problems. I was nominated as "Super User" for Requisoft by my Line Manager, which gave me a lot of administrative functions on the system. Towards the end of this role, I took on some project work which involved working for the head of the SSC, gathering information from various departments, and collating the business information to prepare weekly reports which were presented to the board.

• Accounts Administrator

  • Sep 2003 - Aug 2004

  I took on this role as I wished to take a first step into the Accounts industry. This position was mostly purchase ledger with some end of month responsibilities. My responsibilities were: Match and code purchase invoices daily upon receipt, enter these invoices onto the Sage system, keep the "Costmaster" programme up to date with invoice information (this recorded spend on individual projects), deal with discrepancies on purchase invoices received, organize weekly and monthly payment runs for suppliers, reconcile supplier accounts at the end of each month. I left this position as I wanted to gain a little bit more responsibility for my work and also experience other areas of accounting. Show less
