I joined Crowe in 2021, transitioning from a career in nursing to accounting. Currently, I work in the audit department. What initially drew me to Crowe was the firm’s supportive environment and culture, which emphasises investing in trainees to ensure they receive adequate learning and growth opportunities. Although I was slightly nervous about entering a completely different field, my initial expectations were met with a welcoming atmosphere that eased my transition. Building connections within the firm through social events and mentoring opportunities has been a rewarding experience. The sense of community and the multicultural environment at Crowe are some of the aspects I appreciate most about working here. The overall company culture is one of inclusivity, growth, and continuous learning, making it a great place to work and grow.
Outside of work, I have a passion for traveling and playing badminton. My dream is to travel around the world and one day watch Olympic badminton matches in person. Crowe has been supportive of these passions, allowing me to balance my work commitments with my personal interests, making it possible to explore new places and enjoy my hobbies. Hybrid work arrangements at Crowe have allowed me to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This flexibility has been crucial in managing my professional responsibilities while pursuing my personal interests.
Over the years, I have grown both professionally and personally. Initially, I was handling basic tasks, but as I progressed through my training contract, I began leading audits and taking on more responsibilities. This progression has been instrumental in my development. I completed my accounting training at Crowe, which included study leave and a balanced approach to managing work and study. The support from my colleagues and mentors was invaluable, helping me navigate the challenges of balancing professional responsibilities with academic requirements.
Through my work at Crowe, I feel I make a meaningful impact by contributing to the firm’s success and the success of our clients. My role in the audit department allows me to ensure accuracy and integrity in financial reporting, which is crucial for our clients. Additionally, I pass on my knowledge and experience to new trainees, helping them grow and succeed.
In the future, I see myself taking on more leadership roles within the firm. I plan to continue contributing to Crowe’s growth and success by leveraging my skills and experiences to mentor new trainees and drive innovative solutions.
