“I arrived at Iguana to assist in creating a balance sheet, and as time went on, I was given more responsibilities. I learned about Iguana through a former accountant I worked with. Although I have sailed when i was young and enjoy shipbuilding, prior to joining Iguana, I had never worked in boats industry. However, I realized that any company needs to manage its accounting, and Iguana provided me with the opportunity to explore various areas. I joined Iguana in January 2017 when it was a start-up with a small team. Over the years, the number of people in the teams doubled as we grew into a semi-industrial company while maintaining our artisanal aspect.

Initially, I was involved in managing suppliers and payments, as well as preparing payslips related to human resources. Later, I took on administrative tasks. I have gained a lot of experience and confidence as my tasks progressed, which is important for my current role to ensure that I do not mislead others. Although there is no typical day at Iguana, we always encounter new things. However, the beginning of each day usually involves processing emails, checking bank accounts, as well as cash flow. I handle my assignments weekly to be flexible and efficient, but there are special cases depending on the time of the month or year, such as salaries or the VAT return, where I have fixed dates for certain documents or tasks. Being an accountant requires great attention to detail, impartiality, and knowledge of legal regulations, especially in areas such as taxation.

Nevertheless, the experience of working at Iguana is rewarding and fulfilling, as we get to see the impact of our work firsthand.”
