I'm offering
My name is Catherine, I am QBE with over 25 years of accountancy experience. I run my own finance support business providing FC and Bookkeeping support for businesses, reviewing processes, implementing new systems, managing the day to day bookkeeping or just the provision of Management Accounts and BS reconciliations.
My strength if I had to chose one would probably be cash flow management. I have had to work companies through some very difficult periods.
I also have a good knowledge of the finance sector of businesses and can take a view on how they currently function and suggest improvements to save time and costs.
Having worked in many industries I am able to adapt my knowledge and skills to most companies and have a wealth of experience not just within finance but also business in general.
I have 3 staff members who help support my clients and unlike Accountants, are main focus is the day to day finance functions, therefore, we are available to your business every day, within office hours, ,so that we can ensure we are there for your business when you need us.
I am known to fit in anywhere and be able to relate to people on all levels. I am also known for being tenacious and determined.
I make things happen. If it needs to happen and there is a way, then I will get there.
