Success stories

Marina Terentyeva, Audit Department Deputy Director (years in the company: 2005-2016)

"For me, FinExpertiza is a team of experts with a positive and friendly environment. Newcomers are given a warm welcome here; we are always willing to help if you have problems."

Marina started to work in FinExpertiza in 2006. At that time she was a very young expert, and our company attracted her with prospects of professional growth. As an auditor in the group, she always discovered something new, adopted the best practices from more experienced colleagues, and never hesitated to clarify something. Performing an auditor's work, Marina became flexible and quick to learn project details. The main thing for her was that she learned to find an approach to every person. Soon Marina was promoted to Senior Auditor. An auditor's job means regular business trips and Marina used them not only as an opportunity to see Russia, but also to learn how people from remote parts of Russia live and to see various factories from within.

Later Marina decided to develop her professional competence, so she moved to IFRS Department as an advisor improving her qualification at the same time. This helped her become a universal expert, well aware of the specifics of both the Russian GAAP and IFRS.

Since 2013 Marina has been managing projects and in 2014 she was appointed Audit Department Deputy Director.
