High turn around of invoicing clients to increase cashflow, chasing payments, paying in cheques and bank reconciliation. Prompt payment of supplier invoices to maintain an excellent reputation and company image. Prompt VAT returns and customs declarations is paramount.

Success in the role was paramount to avoid understaffing and thus ensuring a continual secretarial service was provided.
