People always say, "If you can't find an opportunity, create one," and I could not agree more and just lived that. If you told my college self—who was completely immersed in the arts—that I would end up in the accounting and corporate admin world, I would have laughed. But a degree is just a starting point, probably a factor for a success, but it’s your drive and grit that would take into it.
Entering an industry that usually favors conventional paths meant I had to change my approach to get in. Instead of worrying about what was missing on my resume and people judgement, I focused on improving my competency and most importantly what I could bring to the table, and that is understanding how businesses run and a genuine drive to solve their day-to-day problems.
This journey has allowed me to cultivate a specialized skill set tailored to the unique demands of Australian accounting operations. I thrive in fast-paced environments where precision is paramount, confidently utilizing Xero to manage accounts receivable and streamline billing across multiple partners.
