As a senior accountant who's seen a few balance sheets in my time, I'm curious: Beyond the corner office or a fancy title, what kind of lasting impact do you hope your career will have, not just on your company, but on the wider world?

Not worried about lasting impact in the world of accounting. My personal life and family is where I’ll have impact.

Funny, I just had this conversation with my husband last night. My ultimate career goal is to foster financial literacy and ethical accounting practices within my community. I aspire to mentor aspiring accountants, contribute to sustainable business practices, and advocate for transparency in financial reporting.

My main area of focus is pensions. My work ensures that there are enough assets to cover what people have earned over the course of their careers. Probably won’t be a lasting impact and likely a minimal impact on the wider world, but sure is important for those whose assets we are performing procedures over. Makes a difference for them, even if they aren’t aware of it, and helps me feel as though the work I am performing serves a valuable purpose.
