Recently qualified accountant with over three years’ experience working in the tax department of an Irish Top 10 accountancy firm, intending to relocate to Vancouver in April 2024. Self-motivated and committed, evidenced by my professional exam success to date. I have excellent interpersonal and team working skills, with three years’ experience liaising with both clients and The Irish Revenue Commissioners. I have also developed valuable leadership skills from participating in team sports, group projects in university and from acting as a mentor to junior trainees in current position. As a curious and proactive worker, I am continually seeking to develop my career.
