Professional summary
Commerce graduate with accountancy as a main subject, trained in Tally and double entry bookkeeping through coursework and a two month internship at a chartered accountant office. Entered purchase and sales invoices, helped with bank reconciliation statements and kept voucher files in order. Slow to make mistakes because I check totals twice, and comfortable with GST terms used in day to day billing. Looking for a first accounts assistant role with steady, detailed work.
