Our People
Three Questions to Amanda Lim
What do you enjoy most about working for SEFE?
The work itself is a lot of accounting, a lot of finance, which is something I am very comfortable with and enjoy. But what I love most about working here is the passion everyone has for their work! Saying that you enjoy accounting is a weird thing to say in Singapore but being part of a team where everyone is interested and passionate about their work creates a more engaging and fulfilling environment. It's refreshing to be surrounded by people who really love what they do — it’s contagious in the best way.
What has been your highlight since joining SEFE?
One highlight was the opportunity to work at our London office for a few months. It was my first time travelling to Europe, and at first it felt a bit overwhelming to suddenly be immersed in so many different nationalities and cultures. At the same time, everyone was eager to learn about me and what life is like in Singapore. Somehow, our lunches turned into mini geography and history lessons, where we exchanged personal stories and learned about each other’s cultures. It was a very fun experience.
What is most surprising about your work?
I really like that I get to work with so many people from diverse backgrounds. It’s been a very eye-opening realisation for me that you can always find something in common with another person, regardless of their background or life situation. Although I’m based in Singapore my direct reporting team is in London. This gives me the opportunity to work with a truly international team that come from all over the world, including Germany, India, Bulgaria and Australia just to name a few.
