Maureen Singh – Accountant

Maureen-Singh-vaMy name is Maureen Singh and I’m from Fiji Island. From my childhood time, my ambition always has been to be an Accountant and the journey to be one was really exciting. Being one of the 5 sisters in my family, it was not easy to get tertiary education done but I was fortunate enough to get a scholarship which enabled me to successfully complete my Diploma in Business Accounting as a start off. I started my first practical job in a hardware company for 6 months and considering my dedication and devotion to work, I got promoted to Credit Assistant as a full-time employee. From then onwards, no looking back in life.

Many challenges began to come my way and it became my passion to increase my knowledge in accounting and commerce. It has been a total of 16 years now since I have been working and had an opportunity to work in all various departments, like Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Finance & Admin which has given me strong confidence that I can work in any department I’ve been directed to.

I got enrolled in the year 2020 to further my studies which were sponsored by my employer and currently, I am pursuing my BA and planning to do CPA in the future. Though I lack an achievement level but have full confidence in my experience.

I am computer literate with knowledge in MS office and am well-versed with packages such as SAP R3 / BW, EDW Cognos, Telnet/Citadel, DEJAR, IRIS, TM1, XERO – Hub-Doc, Dropbox, Pay Maker, VEND, Little Hotelier.

I have self-confidence in learning new systems and software as I believe I’m a keen and fast learner.

I hope you will consider me as a person who could be a valuable asset to your company.
