What is your business philosophy?
An empathetic and supportive environment will foster transparency, exploration, and discussion that benefits both the organization and the client.
Why did you choose this field / career path?
Accounting is essentially the backbone of any business – we are responsible for gathering, recording, and providing key financial information that our clients depend on. We are needed in every business, every industry, and every country. Thus, I knew that accounting had the potential to open an infinite number of doors for me in the business world.
What is one of the best lessons you’ve learned during your career?
Listen carefully and learn to anticipate the needs of your clients and those around you. You will always be one step ahead.
