2. Working in High Performing Teams

Here I cover off a different metric and with expanding the grid to 10 companies it allows me to illustrate the roles I performed while being in High Performing Teams.

3. Skills Matrix / Skills Cloud

This was instigated from uploading my CV and that giving me a start - and then after a few iterations the list of my most important and long serving skills are listed below.

As well as my main accounting competence I have also deliberately focussed on systems throughout my career and in the last 10 years added a strong Project focus as well.
