Lorna H.

I have applied for this position as I feel I am fully qualified to do the job. I have 45 years experience in the accounting field and in my last full time position I started as a bookkeeper to TB and finished as CFO (Chief Financial Officer). I instituted the entire reporting function for Matus. I am also an experienced Excel Trainer from basic to advanced and therefore have an exceptional knowledge of the product. I am also doing a training course in Financial Planning and Analysis with Cambridge Management and Leadership School One of the best things that happened to me is that Matus burnt down in a fire. I had to rebuild the accounting system which was at that point done manually except for invoicing and stock which we had to find as much information as possible from tapes which were also smoke damaged. I can therefore quite proudly say that I learnt to do accounting in reverse! During that exercise I was promoted to Financial Manager due to the skills that I displayed.
