Our story

“Once upon a time…

I saw a job opening of "Chief Finance and Happiness officer" and, to be honest, that was the best one I have ever seen. I admit, many people would smile, if not laugh, seeing a position like this but, in fact, this ad pushed me to write an article about happiness in finance, which further evolved into the idea of creating a blog about the finance function, its changes and transformation, its challenges and wins.

I am 100% sure that it is possible to combine these things, finance and happiness, especially for those who are addicted to finance, for those like me. I know it may seem too biased as I am passionate about finance and have always been, but I truly believe that we are living in the most interesting time, and the work of finance specialist has never been that exciting. All this, combined with curiosity and desire for new knowledge and skills inherent in the profession, perfectly matches the secret formula and ultimately results in the harmony of career in finance and happiness.”
