When I started as an Accounts Assistant with Reed Business Information Pty Ltd in 2002, I had no idea how varied my career would turn out to be and how many aspects of business life I would get involved with. During my 21 years with the Reed Group of companies, I have been consistently recognised and rewarded for my skills and achievements, which has allowed me to progress in the organisation and broaden my capabilities as a trusted business partner to the CEO and CFO. In recent times, for example, my accounts payable role has evolved considerably, and I have played a major support role to the CFO across the spectrum of accounting functions, including reconciliations and reporting, cash flow management, operational cost management, treasury and payroll. I am also a key resource for annual reviews, audits and tax requirements. With substantial changes to the business over the last few years, including the sale of the company in 2013, numerous acquisitions and eight divestments, I have been instrumental in managing that change and transitioning accounting and business processes to support the new organisation. This has included renewing and redesigning operational processes and systems, setting up new banking partnerships and arrangements, negotiating new supplier contracts and the separation of office facilities. My success in these tasks has seen my remit expand into facilities management, payroll, HR and administration, as well as special projects such as the office move in 2018, which involved two new premises at different locations and which was achieved seamlessly without any operational downtime. I am also an integral part of the IT taskforce, which is responsible for the identification of costs and introduction of new software to meet changing business needs. I enjoy this variety immensely and I look forward to using my existing skills and exploring new challenges in my future career.✦ Office Management✦ Facilities Management✦ Accounts Payable and Payroll✦ Supplier Relationships✦ Administrative skills✦ IT Aptitude✦ Project Management ✦ Customer Service and Sales Support
