Gayumi Vithanage

After graduating with First Class Honors from a university in Sri Lanka and becoming a Certified Senior Business Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka, I accumulated ten years of experience in the accounting field. I worked with several multinational companies in Sri Lanka, gaining diverse expertise in management accounting, financial reporting, analysis, budgeting, and controlling. In January 2024, I relocated to the United Kingdom and joined the University of Sheffield in April 2024. I currently serve as a Senior Finance Assistant, working across both the School of Education and the Information School.
