Graduated as the 3rd best graduating student in the Accounting department with a CGPA of 4.45.

Just randomly remembering some of the impact my little financial modelling skill has created over the years: 2017: Got €5,000 in funding for an AgriTech firm (Farmignite). 2019: Contributed to UPDC-REIT's scenario analysis to enhance portfolio growth. 2020: Got €5,000 for an e-commerce Agritech platform (BigiFoods) 2021: Built the model for uLesson's $15m Series-B funding round. 2023: Built the model for MIVA Open University NUC's licensing. 2024: a N9trn budget for Govt/Private project. 2024 - 2026: Building ICL into #1 CFO Advisory & Finance Transformation firm in the world. It's been a while coming. We Keep Grinding. 💪

First holiday of the year. 🇱🇺 Took some time off to go and touch grass in Luxembourg. Orange man has showed my portfolio “shege” in the last couple of weeks 😃

I can’t wait for my twin to become a lawyer🥹🥰 I told her something and she said, “It is illegal for …..” My head just swelled up🥹. There are a lot of things we do without even realizing we’re being cheated.

One of the major reasons why most people never get GT roles is because of assessment tests. Infact many do not fear interviews but how will they even get the interview, if they do not pass the tests. So, this morning I want us to make this thread a compilation of resources where people can study for aptitude tests. I'll drop some links that I've found, and I'll beg you to drop yours in the comment section: 1. SHL - The YouTube link is that of a Nigerian mathematics tutor and he's done some pretty good job at breaking down numerical reasoning and other aspect of the SHL test. Those still in NLNG pipeline might find his page interesting. @obasimatictutorial?si=IEeAoVczQTcPrHkS" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@obasimatictut… 2. General PQs - As much as you can get PQs from communities you join, the link below has some that might be interesting. Those looking to get into access bank, and also those that will be writing dragnet assessment test will find this interesting, also. @teststreamsng1623?si=5sS3gYUHamRIkScc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@teststreamsng… 3. General Tests Prep - This is the one I usually recommend across board because they deal in all kinds of test on a general level from abstract reasoning, to SHL, numerical reasoning and other kinds of tests. @jobtestprepuk?si=ydpWbOn4CA4ZpcEP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@jobtestprepuk… Those are the resources I have, so drop your links also and let's make this thread a resource hub that we can come to anytime assessment tests email are sent across board! Drop it in the comments section below and RT for wider reach!

@blue_resolve Bro Have a great day.

@TeeClassy29 No. Being the "most beautiful..." is a subjective/superfluous term. Having a first class is an Objectively derived academic score from an academic institution. Also, you don't need to have a F.C. to be brilliant & you clearly are.

It can be painful, I’ve felt it before. But I told myself: I am better than some first-class graduates. So I decided to carry myself like one by showing up with excellence. As time passes, everywhere I’ve worked, colleagues assumed I graduated with a first class.

Me telling myself “I am better than some first-class graduates” is not to compare. It’s a word of affirmation… I can say “I am the best in the world”. It’s just to put your mindset straight. So don’t get me wrong 😑

@blue_resolve This is a mindset thing… I can say I am the most beautiful woman on earth… It’s just like saying a word of affirmation to yourself. Not necessarily true in the real sense.

@TeeClassy29 How are you "better" than them in that particular metric when you objectively didn't score more than they did ?

@phenomenalOAU Okay

@TeeClassy29 You're not better than any first class graduate.

You people I have house on the island , it just remaining a job. Please don’t let my house rent be wasting. I’m a Chartered Accountant for if you need any. I’m also a data analyst, I studied Demography and Social Statistics so am good. Please I need a job 🙏🙏🙏

Grateful for the gift of family ❤️❤️. We aren’t perfect, but we are worth it ❤️.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. When I say “This is nothing new,” I mean it. Send hugs to a member of the Finance Team.

Office politics is real and may be unavoidable, but be sure you are not pulling anyone down, please!

Put as much effort into growing yourself as you put into working for your company because your future depends on YOU, not your employer.

@abayomi4sam 😅😅

@TeeClassy29 Lol. Okay O. I trust you still find succour there. 😂

You will work to a certain stage where you will feel like running away…… Still working, yet it doesn’t look like something that is resolved. 🥹

@mrkaladxe 😅😅 make I con die😮‍💨😅

@TeeClassy29 Run away as how

@abayomi4sam To my father’s house 😅😅😅

@TeeClassy29 This woman! Don't run away ooo. Run away to where??? 😂😂

As an FP&A professional, creativity is not optional. Your job is not just to report numbers, it’s to make them understood by non-finance people. If your chart needs explanation, it’s already failing. Make your reports speak.

@d_fiyinfoluwa1 Congratulations 🎈🎊

I finally got a good job
