Success stories

Marina Borisova, Head of Financial and Analytical Department (years in the company: 1999-2016)

"I enjoy working in FinExpertiza. If I think that I've reached the limit in some professional area, I can always do something different, and I don't need to leave the company. Here, every employee has opportunities for both vertical and horizontal career development."

Marina joined FinExpertiza in 1999 as a receptionist. So, Marina is our first secretary. When FinExpertiza was very small, a secretary had to deal with a variety of tasks. So Marina revised her major, improved her knowledge in accounting and a bit later she was appointed as an accountant. Having mastered all intricacies of the profession, first Marina became the Deputy Chief Accountant and then took charge of accounting departments of several companies of the group.

In 2010 Marina decided to study a new area of activity which is somewhat similar to accounting. Without holding on her previous achievements, she started virtually from scratch and moved to the Financial and Analytical Department as an ordinary employee. Her interest in the new area of activity was really immense, which helped her advance in her new career – in 2014 she took charge of the Financial and Analytical Department where she has been working so far.
