How can we help you: managing personal finances

 
 
Profile

I’m a Financial / Management Accountant at Strategic Credit and Analytics.

...Newly married to an IT wizz!!  My hubby’s a great cook, so I’m often spoilt with delicate dishes!!
 
My mum's my best friend and my role model!  She's a God fearing person, kind hearted and intelligent, I aim to be like her one day!

I love travelling and spending time outdoors. I love animals, wildlife and sea-life (I guess my dad’s hobbies have rubbed of on me!)
