My name is Evelina, and I am a Senior Manager in Deloitte Romania, being part of BPS department for more than 10 years. I am a certified accountant and tax advisor under the Romanian law, member of CECCAR and CCF bodies, and a graduate of the Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Accounting and Management Information Systems.
My experience consists of providing professional accounting services according to Romanian standards, preparation of tax returns and financial statements, restatement of accounting records prepared under IFRS or US GAAP, preparation of financial reporting packages, support during the implementation of accounting software to ensure compliance with Romanian reporting requirements (Navision, Sage X3, SAP), by describing business requirements and legislative provisions, preparing test scenarios and performing tests. The experience gained over time covers all industries with a focus on Consumer Products & Retail Industry.
I am fond of my work, but I have also other passions, outside the professional world, such as mountain hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time with friends and family playing board games.
During my career I have learned that:
- it is very important to absorb as much information as possible, both theoretical (personal study, formal education) and practical (observing the way things are done by others, being receptive at feedback), especially when one starts to build a career, but also along the way.
- growth always comes when you act out of your comfort zone.
- you must speak up your ideas, your understanding, your vision and offer arguments, but be always open to the ideas of everyone around.
- to deliver quality work, you need strong technical skills, but also a dedicated and supportive team.
One of the key moments in my professional journey was the decision to join Deloitte, to become part of a big organization. This opened great opportunities for me, such as working with the manager I had at that time, who was a real mentor and a model for me from a professional perspective. Then, each promotion was a key moment, because it came as an assurance that I am on the right path, but the biggest challenge came in 2020, when the pandemic hit and there were a lot of changes in the market but also inside the company. It came with an additional challenge for me, the promotion to a manager position during a quite difficult time from an economic perspective. However, the effort put during 2020-2021 has brought me great accomplishments.
I strongly believe that it is of hight importance to feel engaged and satisfied with your activity, and for that you must understand the purpose of each task, its impact, and your role in the team and in the overall project.
