Hello and welcome to Rookie Finance!
First of all, thank you for being here. I’m the Professor, a finance and accounting enthusiast with over a decade of experience across various industries and around the world. I’ve seen how talented young professionals, full of potential, face a tough start in their careers: superficial onboarding sessions, little to no guidance, and a fiercely competitive environment where support is often lacking.
Does this sound familiar? You’re handed a laptop and thrown into the deep end with no manual, no direction, and vague expectations. Colleagues aren’t always willing to help, and your bosses want results “yesterday” without showing you the way. I’ve seen many young professionals frustrated, on the verge of tears at their desks, just waiting for the weekend to escape the stress, dreading Mondays like a sentence.
Despite hearing during onboarding that “we’re like a family” or “we promote teamwork,” the reality often feels very different. Competition, individualism, and lack of time drown out generosity and good practices. This community is for you: the young professional or student taking their first steps in finance, looking to avoid the frustration and stress of an unsupported learning curve. My goal is to provide practical, easy-to-learn content that applies to any industry, helping you build confidence at work and, more importantly, in your life. You’re not alone in this journey, and together, we can change this story. Your Mondays don’t have to be your enemy!
Stay tuned!
