Getting ready for the interview at Bellerage, I did not have high hopes. But during the conversation with HR, I was relieved to hear that at Bellerage it is possible to combine study and work. After going through several selection stages, starting with a test and ending with an interview with the Managing Partner, I started as an intern in the financial outsourcing and consulting team. It was an important turn in my life!

The manager in whose team I got during my internship is to this day my mentor and friend. I know that I can always ask her for help, just like any other colleague. Already during the first week of work, I felt the friendly atmosphere within the team: it was immediately clear that they were united not only by work, but by something more. I certainly wanted to be a part of it. Joint dinners, trips to the countryside, celebrating birthdays outside the office make us not only a close-knit team, but also friends in everyday life.

Thanks to a well-designed internal training program, I acquired more knowledge and skills during the three months of my internship, than during the three years at university. Many interesting cases, communicating with clients and searching for original ways of solving problems make you think outside the box and help your professional development.

In 4 years of work, I have grown from an intern with only academic knowledge in finance to a Senior Consultant with my own projects and assistants. At the same time, I am still constantly growing in new areas and every day I learn something new.

An internship at Bellerage is an excellent opportunity to become a professional consultant in a short period of time and being part of a great team that is always ready to support and help you.

Working in the financial outsourcing department, you regularly give clients advice on choosing a financial model, optimizing taxation, building optimal business processes - thus, every day there is an opportunity to make a tangible contribution to the development of a client's business. In order to understand his business well and give professionally founded and practical advice, you need to learn quickly and absorb a lot of information in a short time. You will have to work a lot. But on the other hand, career growth is faster than in other companies, and most importantly, it depends only on you. There are always plenty of opportunities for professional growth.

While still a physics student at Moscow State University, I came to the financial outsourcing team of Bellerage as an intern and started from scratch. At present, I lead a team of 20 people. Nevertheless, I am not going to be satisfied with what I already achieved – I have more plans for further professional growth and for expanding my team. Of course, to work well, you need a friendly atmosphere. Bellerage’s team is made of positively minded and open people. The company's management is always ready to listen to initiatives and proposals. Company trips to the countryside twice a year are always fun and unforgettable.

Every time I look back at my previous experience in sectorial industry companies (I went up almost the full career ladder from accountant to CFO), I am convinced that I took the right choice, when more than 10 years ago I decided in favor of a career at Bellerage. Having moved up from Senior Consultant to Partner, I can say with confidence: regardless of your grade and position, consulting is always interesting and offers prospects for growth and development. Bellerage is a friendly and close-knit team, full of smart and motivated employees, with very different clients and projects.
