As an Assistant Cost Manager at AmcoGIffen, I support the commercial, procurement, and wider finance function teams with preparing and managing monthly cost and accrual figures. I ensure accuracy through routine examination of transactions and purchase orders, with a key focus on hired-in plant and vehicles. Utilising specialist, company-specific knowledge, I can propose, plan and implement process changes which improve efficiency and accuracy across various business functions.I graduated from the University of Nottingham with a BSc in Finance, Accounting and Management in June 2022, granting me exemptions for the CIMA CGMA qualification I intend to pursue. I gained a solid foundation in financial concepts, accounting principles, and management practices during my studies. I also demonstrated excellent time management and organisational skills, balancing my academic workload with a part-time job at Tesco, where I delivered effective customer service and maintained high standards of freshness and hygiene.
