While pursuing a programming degree, I figured out i didn’t want to code for a living. So, during my many years of college, I began working in accounting, in banking and real estate industries. After completing my programming and accounting degrees, I took a year off and completed my MBA, then began my dream job. I knew I wanted to work on accounting systems in high school – I first held a $500 bill when helping my grandmother count money at her department store bookkeeping job, as a very small person. As my passion for counting coins grew, along with my knowledge of debits and credits, I wanted to help folks with the state of their business. As that passion grew, I found that all of that data could tell those decision-makers so much more. So, after many years of accounting and nearly 20 years as an ERP consultant, I’m now going from being a numbers-nerd, learning how to be a data-geek.
