Rajan's CV

Personal Profile

A graduate in Accounting and Finance with a first-class honours’ degree and a merit in masters
degree who is looking for an opportunity to gain a broad level of experience in the field of finance. I
have worked in a multinational retail company as an Accounts Payable Specialist for three months
and have also worked as a Trainee Bookkeeper under a local practitioner for over a year.
Being a finance graduate, I possess all the necessary skills required to work within a finance function.
However, one thing that sets me apart is my willingness to learn new things and to constantly upgrade
my skillset. I am a fast learner and I can quickly adapt to new situations and challenges. Also, I have
the ability to think and look beyond numbers and analyse businesses and their finances in depth. I
want to qualify as an ACCA qualified Chartered Accountant within the next three years.
