Designed complex Excel spreadsheets that were linked to CRM which could produce more detailed and accurate reports thus assisting the company to make decisions based on reliable data.

Performed training which built on the capability of the staff and consequently improved the professionalism and efficiency of the office.

Thomas Hancock Associates A personal assistant had not been employed for over a year

when I started in the role and there was a large backlog of work which needed to be caught up swiftly and efficiently, the most critical being the accounts for the last nine months, which needed to be entered into MYOB, along with adjusting incorrect or incomplete entries from the previous financial year. I completed this task within two weeks and met the deadline for the BAS.

Updated templates to look professional and to provide an efficient process for data entry.

Improved the filing system to an efficient system.
