Today is the first day of my new position. I have been at my company for about two years, and in that time I was promoted from Financial Analyst to Senior Accountant. I was an accountant from November through this past week. Now, I am a Senior Treasury Analyst.
As you might have picked up through my writings, I am a finance guy, not an accountant. I was excited to be promoted, but I have found that treasury is where I want to be for the long run.
I am on the 43rd floor of my building now, instead of the 6th. I don’t have a view, but if I stand up and look over the wall the next guy has a great view! This is one step closer to my corner office.
My new job is in the lease management and operations group at my company. We buy lots of big and expensive stuff where I work, and my job is to ensure that the financing goes through and works properly. I will be negotiating terms and rates with vendors and will spend time working with our procurement group to make the purchases.
I am pretty excited. I can’t lie about that. If anything big happens here, I will let you know.
