About me
Crunching numbers and crafting clarity
Since 2015, I have worked in various accounting/finance roles, whilst also completing CIMA and AAT accountancy qualifications. As much as I enjoy finance overall, it became very clear to me that my strengths and passion lie specifically in reporting & analysis. Including number crunching to understand drivers behind the financials, or presenting information in a way that is easiest to digest for my audience.
Boosting analysis and quality
I get a real kick out of feeling that I am continuously improving both processes and quality of information. Ultimately, good financial analysis is all about enhancing the information for key decision-makers, so when I feel that I am doing this well, I get a real buzz!
Soccer souls and spirited strolls
Having played and watched the sport since I was very young, I am a massive football fan – specifically a Northern Arsenal fan! Other personal interests I have are long dog walks, drinking whisky and exercising.

The best thing about working at Cobalt is the collaborative nature in the business and culture of sharing and teamwork. Not every role sits in one neat little box within my own industry sector, and it’s a good feeling to be able to count on colleague’s support and expertise when you need it most.

The ability to become a specialist in your space is something the business fully supports you with and the fact that you get to collaborate with some truly great people along the way is a bonus!

I love that you can go into any Cobalt office anywhere in the globe and know it's a Cobalt office, not by the branding or the set up, but by the approach of the people to doing their job, the fact that you are greeted like a (welcome!) family member and a genuine desire to learn and develop.
Sara Burton - Global Operations Director
