I know what it's like to be qualified and yet overlooked.
Couple years ago, I found myself stuck in my career despite being a CPA, a CMA, and working on my MBA. I knew I could do more. I knew I could earn more. Yet, I felt stuck, and I could not figure out the solution.
As I recently shared in the Wall Street Journal, I made the same mistake I see many accounting and finance professionals do:
Over focusing on credentials while the game has changed!
✔️ Modern finance is about seeing the bigger picture and leveraging technology to effectively support business strategy across functions.
✔️ Having credentials and seniority don't automatically equal progress. Working on your soft skills and knowing how to articulate your value will accelerate your career.
✔️ Digital presence is the modern currency. A great LinkedIn profile is more powerful than a polished resume when it comes to landing opportunities both within and outside your organization.
It’s in grabbling with these evolving realities, that I came up with a blueprint that helped me lead several successful company-wide initiatives, land 2 VP roles, and increased my income by 6 figures within 5 years.
That blueprint has 3 pillars and I will be sharing them through a series called Beyond Certifications. The Brand Authority is Part 1, and is available now!
My mission is share what I learned the hard way with as many finance professionals as possible through affordable yet effective courses.
