Path to Consulting
In my last couple years in primary school, my grandfather gave me a monthly allowance of BBD$50. This allowance kept coming until one day it wasn't any longer. During that time I was receiving, I had no sense of financial discipline, so I squandered the money quickly. It was only in my latter years of secondary school when I experienced the hardship of not being able to acquire some of the basic needs as a student because of lack of money, that I regretted my past actions of not saving some of said allowance when I had the chance to.
​
By the time I reached University level I found myself in student loan debt to cover tuition, and working in an unhealthy work environment to cover my basic needs like transport, books for university, and food. This was my turning point and I vowed to move from this financial crisis of living from hand to mouth and suffering throughout life. So I started researching and implementing budgeting techniques, saving and debt reduction strategies that produced favorable results, allowing me to become financially stable.​
A few examples of favorable results are:
1) I repaid my 6-year student loan of $17k in less than two years, saving over $1,500 in interest and accomplishing this on a minimum wage for the first of those two years.
2) My elders were now borrowing from me because I had reserves.
3) Those reserves afforded me the ability to go weeks without touching my paycheck. Even my work colleagues would be amazed at this achievement.
​
My motivation has been this, "I will not be a part of the statistic of accountants who manage and analyze their employer's company books and don't manage their own. Or be the financial consultant who advises others but don't make their advice applicable in their own lives". I aspire to be a professional with a difference.
​​
In conclusion, over the past 7+ years, I developed my skills, knowledge, and expertise while gaining valuable experience tailoring cashflow management tools and strategies to meet the needs of individuals in the Caribbean, UK, Canada, and USA who find themselves in unfortunate situations like I did, trying to meet their basic needs or who are drowning in debt and trying to stay afloat.
