Working in finance, administration and control: some good and bad

👤💭Working in finance and control can be a solitary and frustrating profession at times.

This is because finance professionals often work behind the scenes, crunching numbers and analyzing data, rather than being front and center in the decision-making process.

Additionally, the high pressure and constant demand for accuracy can create a stressful environment.


📍🛣️ However, despite the challenges, working in finance and control can also be incredibly rewarding and gratifying.

Money may seem a superficial topic but... managing money and LIMITED RESOURCES is a crucial part of any individual, family, business; therefore, those in finance, administration and control have a direct impact on the success, growth and solidity of the organization: the ability to effectively manage finances can indeed make or break a company.


👀Furthermore, working in finance and control requires a unique skillset that can be highly valued in other areas of life: being able to analyze data, think strategically, and make informed decisions based on available resources are all skills that can be applied to personal financial planning, entrepreneurship, and even non-profit work.


WORKING IN FINANCE IMPLIES ACCEPTING SOME BAD ASPECTS LIKE... SOLITUDE


👥 👤Accepting the solitude that comes with the profession is important for finance and control experts, consultants, practitioners, technicians etc. This is because much of the work involves analyzing data and making decisions based on that data, which often requires a high degree of concentration and focus and attention to detail that can have an impact on people and assets. Interruptions and distractions can lead to errors and mistakes, which can have serious consequences.


🔒Additionally, the nature of the work can sometimes require confidentiality and discretion, which can further contribute to feelings of isolation: finance professionals may have access to sensitive financial information that they cannot discuss with others, making it difficult to share their experiences and challenges with colleagues or friends.


🤝However, it's important to note that there are ways to mitigate the feelings of isolation. Networking with other finance peers (or senior, who you can hang out with in order to know what else you can do, how to do it or how to approach it), attending industry events and conferences and participating in business development opportunities can all help to create a sense of community and connection.


🌅Ultimately, accepting the solitude that comes with the profession can lead to a greater sense of focus and purpose in the work: by embracing the need for concentration and confidentiality, finance professionals can make more informed decisions and contribute to the success and STABILITY of their organizations 🏆
