Hi I’m Lindy, I’m a proud CPA, I’m currently a Group Tax Executive at BW Group.
In Singapore, whenever you say CPA, they actually immediately refer back to CPA Australia. As well as a really huge network, that welcomes me to the CPA Australia family, and beside that is a well-respected credential that gives me a bargaining chip whenever I want to negotiate for better benefits.
When I was looking for a job change, they really helped me in my job search, and I managed to get the job easily because I stood out from my peers and competition with the CPA Program. The CPA Program actually prepares me for this kind of uncertainty in saying that “Hey, I can actually get a job, even in times of uncertainty and COVID-19”.
From the CPA Program, I learnt how to think from different perspectives, and how technology would actually disrupt the accounting industry. So from here right with technological disruption, I was actually introduced to RPA, Reporting Process Automation, and I decided to introduce this to my department to help automate a few administrative tasks in our line of work so that we can increase productivity and get more work done.
CPA Australia really does the best to help every member out there. The CPA Australia family is also very friendly and approachable whenever it comes to any sort of query you have, whether it’s big or small.
Ever since taking up the CPA Program, I’m always kept up to date with the latest trends and the ‘in’ things in the accounting industry, and my problem-solving skills have definitely improved along the way. So opportunities are always knocking at my door, and quoting CPA Australia it took my career to the next level, I don’t know the best way to tell you how great it is to take the program, but it definitely was a decision I’d never regret.
