RE: Application for Data Capturer (Remotely)

Having retired in January 2024 from my previous role as Debtors manager, I am eager to continue working remotely doing data capturing. I have since then worked remotely doing data capturing, bank uploads & payment to suppliers via the Xero accounting package. This position will be ending in August 2025 as the company wishes to have an on-site person.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a high degree of accuracy and efficiency in managing and processing data.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely

Dawn
