I have worked for Three Rivers Housing Group’s Finance Department since 1998. I initially joined the association as a temporary member of staff on a six-week contract having just left University. I was then awarded a permanent contract as an Accounts Assistant and have since progressed to my current position of Management Accounts Officer undertaking the month-end and year-end account processes. My day-to-day tasks include the preparation of the monthly management accounts and management information, and to assist in the general day-to-day running of the Finance Department. Other tasks include the budget setting and monitoring process. The company is focused towards personal development of its staff and as a result, I have been able to attend various training courses that suit both the organisations and my personal needs. As part of this, I have been able to pursue my ACCA professional qualification and work towards becoming a fully qualified accountant. The association is a good company to work for with a close-knit unit of employees, which makes it a friendly and enjoyable place to work.
