Possessing a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Accounting, Irene is a qualified CPA with more than 20 years corporate finance experience, including seven years in key financial and managerial positions with Nestle Nespresso Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A substantial portion of Irene\u2019s career has been spent working at Nespresso.

This professional empathy allows her to apply her key strengths and work experience in finance and accounting, to partner with small to medium sized businesses and play a key role in their future growth and development, along with their people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irene believes whole-heartedly in the quote by Abraham Lincoln, which states, \u201cIn the end, it\u2019s not the years in your life that count, it\u2019s the life in your years.\u201d To this end, she provides accurate and timely financial information to business owners to enable them to work smarter and grow faster, freeing them up to focus on the things that are most important to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irene is positive, fun, and confident, with an open communication style that allows her to work with others to consistently achieve excellent results. She is extremely loyal and honest, and, with the best interests of her clients\u2019 businesses at heart, is not afraid to challenge the status quo and ask the hard questions about a business to keep it on track. Irene is a proficient multi-tasker who works well under pressure, and who possesses a good eye for detail, without losing sight of the big picture. She is consistently able to adapt, improve and change according to the needs of her clients\u2019 businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
