We’re excited to bring you another episode of our ‘Meet the Team’ series. This time, we’re introducing Romany Baker, our talented trainee accountant. Join us as we explore her journey, career goals, and the unique perspective she brings to Acclaim.

Romany’s Role at Acclaim

“My name is Romany, and I joined Acclaim four years ago as a Junior Administrator. Since then, I’ve been promoted twice—first to Administrator and now to Trainee Accountant. I’m currently studying for the Certified Accounting Technician qualification.

In my role, I handle tasks like data entry, bookkeeping, preparing financial statements, tax returns, VAT returns, and more.”

A Surprising Career Shift

“When I started as an Administrator, I enrolled in the ICSA course with plans to become a Corporate Secretary. However, I soon realized that my true strength and passion lie in numbers and accountancy.”

Best Advice Received

“The best advice I ever got was to never give up. This mindset has helped me professionally and personally. It pushes me to keep moving forward, even when things get tough.

Another great piece of advice was, ‘Do what you’re afraid to do.’ Whether it’s meeting new people, trying something different, or attending an event, stepping out of your comfort zone can be both scary and exciting.”

Dream Language

“If I could speak any language, it would be the language of animals!”

Weekend Vibes

“On weekends, I’m usually spending time with friends or family, exploring the island with my dog Ruby, or enjoying a cozy night at home with lots of blankets. I also love trying out new restaurants with my partner.”
