A Day in the Life of Shweta, Greymouse Tax Accountant

Published by: Greymouse Marketing | 21 August, 2023

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.”        

“If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”

Shweta’s adventure with Greymouse kicked off in October 2020, as she bravely took on the role of a bookkeeper. With a calculator in one hand and determination in the other, she dove into the world of numbers. By December 2021, she decided it was time to flip to a new chapter in her career novel, bidding adieu to Greymouse.

Shweta found herself in a work environment so delightful that even the office plants seemed to nod in approval. Her colleagues were not just coworkers, but co-conspirators in the quest for a balanced spreadsheet. And wonder of wonders, the notorious micromanager must have gotten lost on the way to her desk, leaving Shweta to spread her wings.

Departing with a farewell cupcake, Shweta left a note: “Gone exploring new avenues, but don’t change the Wi-Fi password – you never know!” Lo and behold, come January 2023, an opportunity waltzed in wearing a “Tax Accountant Wanted” sign. Shweta seized it faster than you can say “deductible,” and just like that, she was back in the Greymouse groove, armed with numbers.

Shweta’s day job involves being a full-time Virtual Tax Accountant for a client down under in Australia – she’s got taxes and time zones dancing in harmony!

“Mistakes are an opportunity to grow.”

This is Shweta’s daily mantra that underpins her approach to challenges, reflecting her resilience and determination to continually improve,  it continually motivates her as she emphasized that learning is an ongoing expedition. According to her, Greymouse helped boost her professional growth through its comprehensive training and relentless guidance.
