I am currently employed full time by a Scottish charity while self studying with the AAT and CIMA. While working within my support role I have also carried out duties in the finance department to compliment my qualifications. I have also worked as Team leader for a service I have worked in to provide extra support and improve quality. I am currently mastering Microsoft Excel and Excel expert and this stage of my qualification (AAT Advanced Diploma in Accounting). I self study and plan to progress onto the Professional Diploma in Accounting as well as finishing my Certificate with CIMA. I am extremely resilient and persistent in my efforts and I will continue to equip myself with knowledge and certification until I reach my desired role.
