I am an ambitious and enthusiastic individual who has always enjoyed Accounting during my time at College. This is because I enjoy problem solving tasks, and the challenge they bring in attempting to solve them. I have considerable experience in using Microsoft Office programs which I believe are basic tools that will aid in pursuing my career in accounting.
My interest in business and finance strengthened after I studied the Certified Accounting Technician(CAT) qualification . After studying CAT, I decided to take a step further and study for the Association for Chartered Certified Accountants(ACCA) as it is a higher level qualification. I believe that studying a degree in accounting and finance, or management sciences will help me to progress with my career. This is because the two subjects combine well with one another and on many occasions, I have found that knowledge of one subject has helped to understand the other.
I have previous experience in an accounting environment where my position was as an Internee in the Finance and Accounts department of a growing bank(JS Bank) in the private sector of Pakistan. This gave me the experience of accounting in the real world, while showing me the skills and knowledge required for a future career. My duties included basic administration such as filing client records, creating invoices on the system and making payments of all branches of the bank on Oracle Payables Software.
As part of my continued interest in the financial markets, I enjoy reading The Economist and the Financial Times when I am able to, as it provides an insight into business organisations, their financial transactions and the state of the economy.
