You must have been a #maths nerd?
"Far from being just bean counting, itâs actually understanding how things get done. The #Chartered #Accountancy #qualification, itâs like engineering, like rocket science. Itâs getting inside something and understanding how it really works."

*** #FinBiz2030 Ireland Task Force ***
The #CharteredAccountancy profession is more than just numbers or debits/credits - its very much vested in the public interest, doing good and driving positive change. We want to play our part to achieve a sustainable future for all!
We are delighted to be involved with the global #FinBiz2030 initiative in conjunction with @charteredww
and @oneyoungworld
Last night the new Ireland Task Force met again and had a great meeting, co-chaired by @sineadfoxhamilton
and @michaeljwalls84 along with @charteredaccirl support from @orlshyland
Fantastic to see so many inspiring and enthusiastic finance/business reps from across the island get involved
The objective is to explore ideas and undertake action to help us achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) by 2030
The Irish group will be working across 4 themes:
SDG awareness
Climate change
D&I / Reducing inequality
Quality education / Financial literacy
Excited to see what projects can be explored and brought to life and ultimately what positive impact can be made!
