What i love about my job

"I joined Suntera in 2018 as a newly qualified accountant with niche expertise. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge across various entities, build relationships, and advance my career to become a Senior Fund Accountant. Now, I manage a small team of my own. I enjoy progressing my skills and gaining new experiences, but my favourite thing about being at Suntera is the people I work with. As a member of the sports and social committee, I am involved with lots of events throughout the year, encouraging people to get together and try new things outside of the workplace. Some of my favourite events include learning to climb at UP Climbing, participating in quizzes to raise funds for our chosen charities, and organising a family beach day for our employees and their loved ones."
