My name is Niru and I am the Financial Controller. My day to day responsibilities include getting up to date with all financial activities.

2. What led you to choose this career path?

I love working with numbers, reconciling, and solving problems so I thought working in accounting would be the best option for me.

3. Which part of your job do you most enjoy?

I enjoy several things. I love composing EOM journals, working with excel and ensuring all my set tasks are completed by the set deadline.

I admire how much the Management team genuinely cares about the employees and the trust they have in us. I also enjoy working with the friendly team and feel very fortunate to be a part of it.

I enjoy listening to music, reading books, travelling around and spending quality time with my family.

7. If you were not a Financial controller, what alternative career path would you have chosen and why?

When I was completing my studies in University, I was doing volunteer work for a not-for-profit organisation. As part of this work, I used to travel to different schools, take part in their various activities and teach basic life skills to the children. If I were not in Finance, I think I would have opted to do something similar.

8. What’s a work-related accomplishment that you’re really proud of?

When I started at BPD Zenith, Financial Restructure Project (FRP) had recently been set up. I was happy to be able to contribute to the success of the initiative by being a part of it.
