Raghav Sharma

I am a proactive and detail-oriented Accounting Assistant with over a year of experience in financial reconciliation, accounting reporting, and financial control processes. I have a proven ability to manage high-volume transactions, process purchase ledger invoices, and assist with month-end financial reports. Skilled in using SAGE 200 and Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP), I excel at maintaining accuracy and efficiency in financial data management. My strengths include teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability in dynamic environments.

Passionate about financial strategy and analysis, I thrive on optimising financial processes and delivering insights that contribute to business growth. I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to further develop my expertise and contribute to the financial health of a forward-thinking organisation

I have 1.5+ years of experience in financial operations, accounts payable, and reconciliation. In my most recent role as an Accountant at the Embassy of the State of Kuwait - Cultural Office (London, UK), I managed vendor payments exceeding £40M, handled multi-currency transactions (EUR, GBP, USD, KWD), and ensured accurate financial reporting and variance analysis. I also have experience in general ledger accounting, bank reconciliations, and stakeholder collaboration. Additionally, I have worked on process improvements, compliance, and financial control activities.

I hold an MSc in Business and Finance (Merit) from the University of Warwick, UK, where I studied Corporate Finance, Financial Management, and Financial Statement Analysis. Prior to that, I completed a B.Com in Business, Accounting, and Finance (Distinction) from the University of Delhi, India, covering Financial Accounting, Income Tax, and Investment Fundamentals. These qualifications provide me with a strong foundation in financial principles, risk assessment, and accounting processes.
