Ropa is the finance manager extraordinaire you wish you found 5 years ago. Whether it be refining your value proposition to reflect your financial targets, or knee deep in the trenches ensuring that all staff get their wages at the end of the month, she brings a wealth of experience that she has spent over 12 years refining.

Starting with the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce as a Business Training Coordinator, she cut her teeth as an Accountant Realign Financial Services Ltd, right after securing her Bachelor of Science in Applied Accounting. Quickly becoming obsessed with growth opportunities in businesses including not-for-profit organisations and finance roles, she then positioned herself to work with CE Security Limited as the Management Accountant and then Break Barriers, where she skilfully manages the finance system of the company ensuring that the ‘blood’ (cash) the company needs to be healthy and thriving keeps flowing in the most efficient way.

Ropa is a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and outrivals in evaluating the general needs of a business, especially the financial needs and devising new and cost-effective strategies to influence policy decisions at senior management level. She ensures that the appropriate vision and processes are in place to ensure long-term financial viability and that resources are allocated to enhance performance monitoring at all levels.

Outside of her passion for work, Ropa’s other main role is being the amazing mum to her beautiful angel and spending quality time with her husband … and is also pursuing her entrepreneurial spirit and setting up her own successful business.
