Looking for a new position within accounting and finance systems (remote preferred)


Culturally diverse having spent my formative years in the Middle East and attended German, Lebanese/French/Arabic and British schools there.
I am a bi-lingual part-qualified accountant with 7+ years’ experience in the field of accounting, finance, & audit in practice and industry, and extensive accounting software knowledge (including Microsoft Dynamics 365, Lexware, SAP, Oracle, Xero, Proclaim, Sage 50, Sage 200, IRIS & SAPA).


I adapt seamlessly to constantly evolving accounting processes and technology; and specialise in optimising processes, analysis and troubleshooting of historical financial data, migration to new finance systems, preparation of year-end accounts, legal accounting systems, payroll, VAT, tax returns, cashflow forecasts, credit/debt control and clearance of invoice backlogs.


I am fully bi-lingual in German and English as these are my parents’ mother tongues and I have dual citizenship.

Currently studying towards ACCA qualification:
F3 completed

Kind regards,
Alexa Stripe
