Monika Giza

I have an experience working in a busy office environment in a finance department. My previous position was in social care company where I had to deal with range of different people. Therefore, I used various forms of communication: telephone, emails or in person with private clients, councils, employees to answer queries, chase outstanding invoices and senior members of staff who I supported with financial duties. I am highly accurate and pay attention to details that was required to ensure my various duties were correct such as raised invoices, payroll information, bank reconciliation or monthly documents sent to external accountant.  

I have an excellent organisational skills and therefore always met my deadlines at work which was necessary for efficient fulfilment of my job. I can take responsibility and work independently; however, I have also worked with the team when I needed to make sure I received all the data so that I could complete my responsibilities on time. I have worked with external accountants who required me to send them necessary documentations. Throughout my career I needed to solve multiple problems which included invoice, payroll and reporting queries. I can use Microsoft Office and Xero software well and I possess excellent computer skills. Both were developed through extensive experience both at work and education. I used various systems and spreadsheets in my financial duties for example to calculate working hours, collate mileage payments or reconcile bank transactions. I have an excellent numeracy skills and I enjoy working with numbers that can be shown through my education results and work experience.
