From Gail…
Much to everyone’s surprise when they ask what I do — I actually love being an accountant!
Spreadsheets are definitely my thing, but what I really enjoy is being able to add value to the numbers. I’ve always liked being part of a commercial team, understanding how decisions impact results, and finding what improvements can be made to ensure that the services can be delivered effectively.
Outside of work, I love being outdoors — tennis, swimming, and running are top of the list. And when I’m indoors, I’m also an active member of a local amateur dramatic group… quite a contrast to the day job — or is it?!
