Why

Throughout my time as an accountant, I discovered my passion lies within analytics: to dive beyond the surface and see what treasure I can resurface with.

What

Thanks to Alex The Analyst I came across the idea of building a portfolio (with the side benefit of finally putting some of those HTML, CSS & JavaScript lessons to good use!).

How

I began by learning VBA to automate my day-to-day work, producing automated Working Papers. Since qualifying as a Chartered Accountant (ACCA) in April 2021, my study schedule freed up a whole bunch, allowing me to tackle the complexities of Python, SQL, R, Tableau, Power BI, HTML & CSS. See the courses I took here.

An opportunity emerged with a new service line within Chiene+Tait: C+T Evolve. The team focused upon taking companies to the next evolution in their Finance Function. I grabbed this with both hands, seeing the chance to carve out a new role to the company, a Data Analyst.
