MCA, Finance, Barbara Obrusznik - Department for Transport Careers

Assistant Finance Business Partner (EO)

What is the most exciting part of your job?

Definitely working for the public. I moved to the MCA from the private sector and it feels great to be focusing on creating and preserving value rather than just generating profit.

What do you enjoy most about the work you do?

The people that I work with are friendly and knowledgeable. I truly felt part of the team from the beginning.

What does your average working day look like?

There is a number of tasks that I perform throughout the month, ranging from posting journals to preparing reports for the Finance Business Partners.

What is your background and how has this helped you in your current role?

I finished AAT Level 4 last year and I am currently studying CIMA. I worked in an entry level finance role for two years prior to starting at the MCA.

What kind of projects do you have coming up?

There is still a lot for me to learn and I am really excited to be involved in anything that comes my way.

Why did you choose the MCA?

The work that the MCA does is truly spectacular and there are so many exciting things ahead. I am proud to be a part of it. There is a strong emphasis on professional development, which is very important to me. The deciding factor in applying for the Assistant Finance Business Partner position was the possibility of remote working as I am based in Scotland.
