We’d like to wish a warm welcome to Alex White, who has joined V Formation on a permanent basis as Finance and Operations Manager.
Having worked with us on a freelance basis since 2021, Alex White already knows V Formation inside out. In her new role as Finance and Operations Manager, she will continue to look after our accounts, oversee all aspects of office administration and operations, and keep us on track for future growth and development.
An accounts and auditing expert
Alex began her career by taking part in a graduate training programme for pub and restaurant management, specialising in audits. She went on to complete her formal accounts training before joining Goldman Sachs, where she managed the accounts function of all catering facilities within branches based around the UK. Alex then joined MFI as an accounts manager, where she reconciled the branch accounts for 200 MFI stores.
Returning to her initial training roots, Alex then worked as a school food support service officer for Leicestershire County Council, a rewarding role that involved auditing school kitchens to ensure that all children in Leicestershire had access to healthy school meals.
Following this period, Alex was drawn back to her passion for numbers, and began splitting her time between working for Shiny Brewery as an accounts administrator and working for herself as a freelance accounts administrator and book keeper – which is when she began working with V Formation.
Alex explains:
“I have worked with V Formation on a freelance basis since 2021, and in that time I have been completed wowed by the company’s values and ethos – everyone on the team really complements one another and I have always been made to feel so welcome.
“I initially began by supporting V Formation with some of the day-to-day financial and bookkeeping tasks. Over the last two years, my role has developed at an organic pace in line with the company’s growth. I am delighted to be joining the marketing and PR agency on a permanent, full-time basis and can’t wait to see how my role transforms even more in the future.”
An eye for detail
With extensive accounting and auditing expertise and a meticulous eye for detail, Alex has a knack for pinpointing where new, more efficient systems can be put in place that simplify processes and make life easier for the team. She loves feeling like she has made a real difference and that things are working better because of actions she’s taken. You can find out more about Alex on her profile here.
