A Triumph of Determination and Entrepreneurial Spirit

From Humble Beginnings to Entrepreneurial Triumph

ICB award winner and Feefo Platinum Award winner

A Foundation of Resilience

Georgina’s journey to accountancy success is a testament to unwavering determination, coupled with an exceptional academic talent. From the outset, her passion for sport, nurtured through martial arts, instilled in her a competitive spirit and a strong work ethic that would serve her well in later life.

Despite the limitations imposed on women’s career choices in the early 1980s, Georgina’s intellect shone through. Her decision to pursue business studies, while challenging, allowed her to cultivate a keen analytical mind. This innate ability was further refined as she excelled in accounting, achieving outstanding results in her O-levels.

Georgina’s early career in accountancy was marked by resilience in the face of adversity. The challenges posed by her initial employer did little to dampen her enthusiasm. Instead, she channelled her frustrations into professional growth, diligently progressing through various accounting roles.

An Entrepreneurial Spirit Takes Flight

While Georgina thrived in the structured world of accountancy, her entrepreneurial spirit yearned for a different path. A natural teacher and leader, she seized the opportunity to share her passion for martial arts and sports with others. This marked a pivotal turning point in her career, as she transitioned from employee to business owner.

Balancing the demands of self-employment with the challenges of single parenthood showcased Georgina’s exceptional time management and organisational abilities. Her entrepreneurial venture not only allowed her to pursue her passion but also developed a diverse skill set encompassing business management, marketing, and customer service.

Ultimately, Georgina’s journey prepared her for the next chapter of her career. The self-discipline, problem-solving, and adaptability honed during this period proved invaluable as she returned to the world of finance.

Georgina’s academic achievements are nothing short of exceptional. Her consistent attainment of high grades across all ICB exams, including a perfect 100% in her M5 exam, is a testament to her dedication and ability. Notably, her Level 4 Unit results are equally impressive.

With an unwavering commitment to professional development, Georgina is now striving to achieve the coveted AAT Level 4 qualification.

Her journey is one of inspiration, demonstrating that with talent, perseverance, and a refusal to be defined by circumstance, extraordinary achievements are within reach.
