EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For over 10 years I have been responsible for the preparation and management of divisional budgets up to $100,000,000 per annum. This includes liaising with Centre and Executive Directors as well as divisional managers to prepare budgets according to organisational funding and strategic direction. My current position has over 20 profit centres with a total of 90 unique cost centres. I prepare month end financials including revenue and expense accruals as well as a detailed variance analysis of ledger transactions. This also includes analysis of large volumes of data from a variety of non-interactive databases to help identify revenue discrepancies. Due to budgetary constraints I have had to adjust budgets and realign spending to reflect the organisations new forecasted position. This included preparing monthly cash flows and forecasts through consultations with budget holders to predict expected future revenue and expenditure. I have also managed budgets in foreign currencies which has sometimes meant that budgets have had to be reforecast depending on the strength of the foreign dollar. I am confident running the month end process including supervising staff and preparing month end journals. Previous employers have stated that I am a ‘people person’ and that a key strength of mine is my ability to present and explain financial information to a varied audience whilst ensuring that any budget variances are investigated thoroughly and corrected where necessary.
