Started as Account Assistant and ended up as Finance Business Partner
I started my career with a one-year fixed-term contract as an Account Assistant, during which I discovered how dynamic and engaging the role of a management accountant could be. This motivated me to pursue a career in the field. Through persistence and hard work, I secured a permanent position and was given the opportunity to pursue a CIMA qualification. After completing Operation level in my CIMA studies, I was offered a role as New Project Development Manager. Managing the transition from Mark-up costing to Transfer Pricing was a significant challenge for both the company and myself. While I encountered some setbacks, I was fortunate to receive support from my colleagues and peers, which was instrumental in my growth as a manager. After excelling in the NPD Manager role, I was given the chance to step into a more senior management position. This promotion marked a pivotal moment in my career, made possible by the experience and effort from my earlier roles, and it allowed me to further hone my leadership, strategic thinking, and influencing skills.
Finance Business Partner
In my current role, I work closely with business leaders to provide financial insights and analysis that help guide strategic decisions and drive performance. I also support budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning to make sure we're all aligned with our goals. I partner with stakeholders to find ways to optimize costs and improve efficiency. By collaborating with different teams, I help improve financial understanding across the business, leading to smarter decision-making.
Opportunity to make a direct impact on the company's success
A key motivation for me is opportunity to make a direct impact on the company's success by providing valuable financial insights that drive strategic decisions. My role offers the chance to collaborate closely with various departments, enabling them to improve financial performance, optimize costs, and achieve business goals. The satisfaction of being a trusted advisor and a key player in the organization's growth can be a strong motivator, as it allows me to contribute to both financial stability and long-term success.
Dreams remain dreams until you take action
It's a powerful truth that many of us need to hear when we're standing at the crossroads of aspiration and reality. We all have dreams, whether it’s building a successful career, starting a business, traveling the world, or making a positive impact on the community. But too often, we let our dreams sit idle, cherished in our hearts but never brought to life.
Without action, even the most beautiful dreams will stay out of reach. It’s the steps you take today that turn your aspirations into tangible achievements. To turn your dreams into something real, you have to take the leap and start moving forward, no matter how small the first step may seem. The road from dream to reality is paved with consistent action and determination.
