Alexandra Wheelan serves as a Virtual Finance Function (VFF) Manager in our Aberdeen Office, where she manages a diverse portfolio of medium to large enterprises. With expertise in statutory accounts preparation and IFRS technical accounting, Alexandra provides essential support on complex technical accounting projects. Her deep understanding of financial standards enables her to guide clients through regulatory requirements with confidence and precision.
Alexandra is dedicated to equipping her clients with timely, relevant financial insights that empower decision-making and foster business growth. She is committed to ensuring clients have a clear picture of their financial standing, helping them navigate opportunities and challenges alike to drive sustained success.
I believe an ideal client relationship thrives on open communication and trust. I prioritize being approachable and available to address questions, offering clear, actionable advice at every step. Understanding each client’s unique goals and challenges allows me to deliver customized solutions, ensuring clients feel supported and valued in both routine matters and complex financial issues.
What I find most fulfilling in my work is guiding clients through intricate financial landscapes and witnessing the positive impact on their businesses. Contributing to their success by helping them make informed decisions is incredibly rewarding—it’s about more than just problem-solving; it’s about empowering clients for the long term.
Working with colleagues brings invaluable opportunities for learning and collaboration. Every team member brings unique strengths, and I enjoy pooling our expertise to deliver the highest level of service to our clients. Knowledge-sharing not only enhances our work but also strengthens our firm as a whole.
To me, being disruptive, assertive, and innovative means challenging the status quo to achieve the best results. I strive to find new approaches to complex financial issues, raise concerns when necessary, and continuously look for ways to add value. This focus on pushing boundaries aligns with our mission to exceed client expectations.
One of the greatest challenges in my field is staying on top of ever-evolving standards and regulations. It can be challenging to stay on top of everything, especially when changes come at the same time, however, I’m committed to proactive learning and adapting quickly, ensuring clients always receive accurate, up-to-date advice. I respond to these challenges by being proactive and keeping up with training and industry updates, this helps me to ensure that I’m always providing clients with the best possible advice and keeping them compliant. Clients are then able to benefit from receiving the most current industry insights.
I approach challenges with enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn. This mindset allows me to stay abreast of industry trends and continually enhance my skills, benefiting both clients and colleagues. My positivity fuels a supportive and innovative environment, adding value to every interaction.
Looking to the future, I’m inspired by the opportunities for growth and technological advancement. I’m eager to leverage emerging technologies to enhance our services and improve client experiences. As a firm, our dedication to staying at the forefront of industry trends positions us to lead in the accounting field and deliver ever-increasing value.
Our firm’s culture of positivity, enthusiasm, and fun creates a supportive environment where everyone feels valued. Sharing a laugh and enjoying our work fuels creativity, fosters collaboration, and makes tackling challenges enjoyable. This positive energy not only benefits our team but enhances our work with clients as well. This attitude influences my work by making it more enjoyable and collaborative. It keeps me energised and focused, helping us tackle challenges creatively. A positive vibe makes even tough tasks easier and ultimately benefits our team and clients.
