CV

I have over 15 years experience in hands on IT hardware & software support, MS Windows, MS Office Application Software, Bookkeeping, & Sage Accounts. During this time I have acquired certification in AAT Intermediate, Integrated Business Technologies to level 3 and OCR Further Education Teaching Certificate (level 4).
The extensive IT troubleshooting/problem solving experience I have acquired over time often proves to be a valuable resource bank and I value this highly. I have undertaken a considerable amount of freelance and short term work over the course of my career; for services to both business and individual clients. I have a wide range of services to offer including PC/systems troubleshooting, customised PC system builds, installations & setups, training, end user support, accounting & book keeping services, systems requirements analysis, IT infrastructure development & reporting. In particular I have helped many local small businesses make the transition from manual book keeping methods to computerised accounting, most often using Sage software.
