JARUSHUB ONE-LINE SUMMARY: A trained engineer-turned-finance-guru and one of the savviest CFOs around

JARUSHUB REMARKS

The brain behind Oando Group’s Finance since 2005

Do Engineers make great Finance persons? FA is yet proving this.

He started his career from PwC like many other accounting and finance professionals around

Is the practice by professional services firms like PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, E&Y etc where they recruit fresh graduates irrespective of course of study, responsible for many non-accounting/finance graduates becoming finance professionals?

FA’s profile yet again buttresses my point on this platform that the best places to start your career if you want to become a thorough-bred finance professional is any of the Big 4 professional services firms.

Another McKinsey alumnus. McKinsey is easily one of the best places to work if you want to task your brain.
