Meet an Accountant

What projects and experiences have been most rewarding for you so far?

What I love most about my role is that there really isn't a "typical" month. Aside from my core accounting responsibilities, I've had opportunities to expand into more complex accounting reviews, as well as get involved in a variety of other projects. Specifically, I’ve been able to tap into my tech side; I really like systems and building things. I’ve been able to improve processes, like transforming large data sets to make them easier to review. Everyone is always asking for new ways to look at information, so if you have ideas on how to improve efficiency, you’re encouraged to share them, evaluate them, and then run with them.

What resources does SIG provide to help you grow individually and advance your career?

SIG has a lot of learning opportunities available, including online resources, classes held on-site that relate to the business and to technologies used for analysis (like Excel, VBA or SQL), as well as CPE credits that my team can utilize to build our knowledge and stay on top of trends and pronouncements within Accounting. I’ve taken Excel classes where I’ve learned how to write and record macros along with classes that our Head of Accounting put together on interest and monthly reconciliations. Classes like this have directly impacted my ability to suggest and implement process improvements within my team, which has been amazing.
