Doing what energizes you and following your passion. Teaching one day a week at Nyenrode? At Qconcepts you can.
This is the story of audit professional Jannemieke Aarts (29). She shares her moment of insight and explains why this is the place for talents like you.
“Being able to walk my own path and grow in my own way keeps the work exciting and innovative.”
Never a dull moment
Five years ago, Jannemieke started as an assistant manager. Since then, she has become an Audit Manager, and no day is ever the same with her. “Every week I visit different clients and spend time in the office and have development meetings with my team.” But what makes her work really special is the freedom to discover new things and to continuously develop herself. “At Qconcepts I get the space to teach one day a week at Nyenrode. “I get the opportunity to further develop myself in the areas I’m good at and that I get energy from, as well as continue to strengthen areas I am working on improving.
Bull’s-eye
As an audit manager, Jannemieke was working full-time with clients. “At some point I wanted more, and teaching didn’t come completely out of the blue. At Q I was already developing a traineeship to train starters to become senior professionals. I mentor trainees and the program I set up has become a regular part of our company.” When she ended up at Nyenrode, it turned out to be a perfect match. “It’s great to have that opportunity at Q and to be able to follow my passion.”
Dusty and dull or exciting and energizing?
Is accountancy dusty and dull or can it be exciting and energizing? That’s the first thing Jannemieke wants to impart on her students. “The image of the accountant sitting alone behind a desk typing away still exists, but that’s not what we do. Instead, we’re on the road a lot, visiting different companies and meeting all kinds of people. I enjoy meeting and talking with people, and in this profession I get to do that all day long. Accountancy really is a dynamic profession.” Additionally, she also learns from the students. “Sometimes I’ve been doing something the same way for years. When students ask me about that, I am challenged to look at it differently.”
You can count on your colleagues.
Back to Q. Now you may be thinking, “it all sounds nice, but who works at Q”? Jannemieke: “We are all young, enterprising senior professionals. Everyone is driven and enthusiastic, just like me. And because we work in self-managing teams and choose our own engagements, everyone does what he or she enjoys. Every time I walk into my office and see my smiling colleagues, I think: yes, this is all I need.”
