I am a Finance Administration Manager and Team Leader, managing five people. I am a hands-on manager, so there isn’t a typical day here. I juggle meetings, I’m learning new aspects of the role and also processing every day.

We work on a number of contracts assisting them with project codes, work orders, POs and applications for payment amongst other things. We’re a newly formed team and we’re keen to get to grips with our area of work – lightening the load for our commercial colleagues and letting them focus on their daily roles rather than having to deal with the finance element.

Avove is like a breath of fresh air! You are seen, heard and welcomed right from your first day – it has a real family feel and all colleagues from the Executive Team to the Senior Leadership Team and throughout the company are amazing and friendly.

In every role, I have worked hard and kept my head down. At Avove – my determination and hard work are recognised. I was recently promoted into my current role to the Manager of a brand-new team assisting with financials within the commercial area of the business. I love leading a team and learning new things every day. It’s the challenge I’ve been looking for and wanting throughout my career. This has been the best decision of my life so far – many doors have been opened to me, and I feel like I have gained a whole new family and secured a promotion – all within the space of a year.

If finance interests you – just go for it! I’d encourage anyone to take a look at a career in finance – don’t think of it as boring and just dealing with numbers – there is so much more to a finance role and starting from the bottom and learning the ropes can open so many doors for you in the future!
