I consider myself to be the quintessential Intrapreneur because I work for Walsh Accountants as if it were my own business. I have seen the amazing things our Accountants can achieve for our clients and I take great pride in my role in promoting our services so people are aware of the difference we can make to their business and the impact we can make to their lives.
The Directors of the firm are a constant inspiration to me and being part of the development and growth of this firm is so rewarding. I am one of the few people that genuinely loves what they do and I believe it’s the passion I have for my role that has given me the ability to accomplish everything I have.
