I started with capSpire in 2017 after graduating from the University of Arkansas in Accounting and Information Systems. In my Senior year, I applied for an internship at capSpire, working with the accounting team – the first-ever accounting intern they’ve had.  I learned a lot during my time in this role, and as I came to the end of my internship, I sat down with the senior leadership team to discuss next steps. While I’d enjoyed my year, I knew I really didn’t want to go down the Accountancy route and aimed to try some new things, so the team encouraged me to apply for an Associate Consultant opportunity. After a pretty rigorous recruitment process – with six interviews with people across the business – I was offered the job!

As soon as I started, I was enrolled in the eight-week intensive capSpire ignite training program to prepare me for the work I’d be doing with clients.  I really can’t say enough positive things about my experience with the capSpire ignite training program – I felt incredibly prepared for my new role. Yes, it was tough – but it was great to be challenged and I really felt like I had the skills to add value to our clients – it gave me a great deal of confidence that I could hit the ground running.

I’ve now been at capSpire for four years, including my internship, and I’m currently running support for a client project.  I love the client-facing aspect of what I get to do – experiencing an exclusive insight into how different clients run their businesses.

I feel like my degree has been really useful in my role.  The accountancy element has helped me to understand the way that my clients operate – for example getting to grips with the deal to cash elements on commodity trading, whilst the Information Systems helps me with the technical aspects of what I do. 

capSpire is a great organization to be a part of – everyone truly works as a team.  Although we’re spread all over the world, I know I can pick the phone up or send a message and people will do all they can to help me. Everyone wants to see you succeed – there’s absolutely no competition.
