Adam Kasperczak

A highly versatile and driven finance-focussed graduate with a strong analytical mindset who has reputable work experience in relevant backgrounds. Worked both in office environments and online from home with much time spent collaborating comfortably in a team setting. This experience also consisted of adhering to personal deadlines alongside team-based work. Provided senior statisticians with comprehensive numerical and written reports with a focus on clarity and conciseness. With experience also in demonstrating said findings through presentations in various media types. Alongside this, an Economics degree cultivated my ability to write more extensive academic-style pieces of writing and promoted attention to detail. Currently seeking a finance-orientated entry level/graduate position in an ambitious firm where further personal development and progression are possible.
