Lizi Hills - the "Accidental Accountant" - is the Commercial Finance Director of Burger King, as well as one of my closest friends. Lizi is rare, because she first became Finance Director at aged TWENTY NINE (what!?) but also has a Sense of Humour (myth busted!), is always up for a laugh and still has the lovable traits of being scatty (and sometimes late for work, at least when I worked with her) that made me stare at her in wonder over my cup of morning coffee about how on Earth she managed to be both a genius and a social butterfly. Anyway, as discovered in this episode, Lizi has many more strings to her bow and was in the Junior British rowing team 2003-05, winning the junior World Cup regatta, Henley and competing at the world championships. as well as being National Champion with her club. She is changing the idea of accounting with her refreshing perspective of putting her team's wellbeing before the financial gain, and challenging why accountants need to work full-time instead of being entitled to flexible working like employees from "less-pressured" jobs. She explores the duality of wanting two separate career paths and the struggle to reconcile the two, and interestingly, like many of us, she still doesn't know what she "wants to do" despite being high up on her own career ladder. Lizi's Saturn Return saw her have a "funny five minutes". Without anything particular being wrong per se, she began to doubt her career path, the direction of her relationship, and her sense of self in general.
