Since graduating in 2001, my work experience has generally been divided into working for large or small organizations. The large organizations were H M Treasury, the DfES and Amco mining. My skills of statistical analysis, budget monitoring, report writing, building up relationships with partners and sharing information as well as giving presentations were the main skills that I used in these positions.

I set up my own business 3 1/2 years ago and used all these skills for my clients. In the smaller organizations is where I set up, supervised a small team of volunteers and run the organization (doing everything). Event planning , such as co-ordinating the venue, box office, performers and technical production (lighting & sound) teams. I played a key role in business plans and meetings with clients. Bookkeeping, weekly bank reconciliations and VAT returns are roles that I am responsible for. I have made payments using Bacs, cheques and cash. I kept financial records using either Excel, Quickbooks and Sage accounting packages. I had authority to gain access to the company bank account in order to perform these roles.

I have used the Iris and HMRC disc to input weekly and monthly wage details and produce P11 and P32 reports. I uploaded the company annual details to the HMRC website at the year end.

I organise the diary of a GP. This involves having access to his gmail account to input details of his clinics, meeting, and paperwork time. I work closely with the local PCT to ensure paperwork is distributed in time.

I have represented the companies on stands at exhibitions and at network meetings.

One of my clients is a private medical insurance provider. Here I deal with confidential medical details of all existing customer. I provide details to new customers and explain the benefits of each policy and all the extras. I provide quotes over the telephone or email. Send letters to people that have expressed an interest in the past and follow up these contacts.

Another client is a business speaker and I do his bookkeeping and calculate his VAT. I record this using Excel.

For a brand and marketing company I generate/edit databases and send literature out. I make follow up calls to book appointments. I type text for websites and CV's. For another client I type very detailed bills of quantities for a surveyor.

I hope that some of my skills and experience will be of use to you to move your business forward. I look forward to receiving an email form you either now or in the near future. Thank you for looking at my profile.
