I'm Abimbola Lawal, and I'm fueled by the belief that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Whether in my career, education, or other ventures, the driving force behind everything I do is the desire to make a meaningful impact. In my over 10 years as a Senior Finance Manager, I've had the privilege of not just managing finances but orchestrating transformations. What inspires me most is the ability to turn financial strategies into tangible results. I led teams to consolidate businesses across borders, and initiated cash flow management systems that brought about significant savings. From earning my Master's in Financial Technology to becoming a Certified Chartered Accountant (ACCA), my educational journey has been a cornerstone of my professional growth. It's not just about degrees; it's about acquiring knowledge that empowers me to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of finance and technology. Beyond finance, I've been a community engagement officer (University of Exeter) and a customer service advisor (BT new EE). These experiences have shaped my holistic approach to problem-solving. It's not just about the bottom line; it's about understanding people, processes, and the broader impact of our decisions. Today, I stand at the intersection of financial expertise, strategic leadership, and a passion for positive change. For business owners seeking not just a finance professional but a partner in growth, I provide solutions that extend beyond numbers. My journey has equipped me to understand the intricacies of business, and I'm here to collaborate, innovate, and drive success. Let's connect! Whether you're navigating financial challenges, exploring new business horizons, or simply want to exchange insights, I'm here. Together, let's turn aspirations, into achievements and create a roadmap for your business/organisations success. Cheers to meaningful connections and shared successes. #FinanceLeadership #BusinessGrowth #Collaboration #ConnectWithAbimbola #cherishedconsulting #cherished-consultinglinkedInchallenge #15dayschallenge #LinkedInChallenge #LinkedIngrowth #Motivationaldrive #Inspirationalmove #LinkedInchallenge #LinkedInopportunities #Remotejobs #Introduction #CareerGoals #SuccessStories #Achievements #Results

Dear Friends and Professionals, I wanted to share a valuable lesson I learned the hard way. After resigning from Ipram International , I'm still waiting for my dues to be cleared. Wonder why these companies could never retain their employees let alone have a chance to rejoin, and it tells the story why they do not grow as people make the organisation. Although it's a good amount to be cleared, still after 1 year they are unable to pay the dues after several reminders. One couldn't keep asking them and waste their valuable time. This experience has taught me the importance of researching a company's work culture and values before joining. A positive work culture is crucial for your well-being, growth, and satisfaction. It ensures: - Fair treatment and respect for employees - Transparent communication and timely payments - Opportunities for growth and development - Supportive colleagues and leadership Don't make the same mistake I did. Before joining a company, research: - Employee reviews and testimonials - Company policies and values - Industry reputation and ratings Remember, your career and financial stability are worth it. Prioritize companies that prioritize their employees. #WorkCultureMatters #EmployeeRights #CareerAdvice

The wave of transformation in technology, particularly in the finance space is moving quickly. Are you ready? I am happy to discuss how the AICPA can help lou.pagnotto@aicpa-cima.com

Ever wondered why personal growth is often viewed as a solitary journey? While "personal" implies individual needs, the reality is that achieving personal growth thrives on support. Whether or not acknowledged, everyone benefits from it. In the realm of family business advising, where effectiveness is key to fostering success, personal growth is paramount. That's why I'm thrilled about the Hubler Institute—it acts as a comprehensive resource for family business advisors, including lawyers, accountants, insurance and wealth planners, supporting both their personal and professional evolution.
