The Accountant – Issue 1 of 2021 (MIA Publication)

I AM... a Certified Public Accountant, a fellow member of the ACCA and a member of MIA. Apart from my professional career I am a mother and a wife. I believe in striking a good work-life balance which is quite challenging given my frenetic lifestyle. I consider myself to be results-driven, self-motivated, and multitasking (the latter is mandatory!). I always strive to adapt to the challenges both at the workplace and in my personal life.

MY ROLE AT MIA IS… that of Financial Controller. The past four years at MIA have been interesting and challenging at the same time, in an ever-dynamic environment. My role covers various areas including financial reporting, financial and performance management, payroll, statutory reporting, contract laws and improving the organisation efficiencies. I also act as the MIA Data Protection Officer, the main responsibility is to ensure that the organisation processes personal data in compliance with data protection rules.

I AM MOTIVATED… to always do my best and improve myself by undertaking new opportunities whilst achieving professional recognition. I am also motivated by being part of a team in an organisation that promotes a positive and healthy environment and ensures job satisfaction among its employees.

TO ME, THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSION… is a massive part of my life! I was always interested in the accounting and business world. I believe that accountants are more than just bean counters, we are front liners in the business world that work as close partners with senior management.

MY LIFE MOTTO… is live day by day. One of my favorite quotes is ‘Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get’.

IN MY FREE TIME... I enjoy and love spending quality time with my two kids and husband. I love travelling, exploring new places and cultures. I unwind by keeping fit. Although I must acknowledge that lately I have fallen behind with both passions.

I CONTRIBUTE TO MIA'S MISSION...by managing and being part of the finance team whilst keeping abreast of current developments and maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards.
