Meet Reece, the Financial Controller at John Good Group overseeing Good Travel Management. His workdays are spent with financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, cash flow management and plenty of project work within the business.
Let’s see what Reece’s typical day in the life is like…
06:10 AM – Time to Get Up
My alarm goes off bright and early to get to the gym for 6:40 before my workday. If anyone is interested, I’m currently doing Push, Pull and Legs with two days of cardio (sometimes the leg day is skipped, I will admit).
09:00 AM – Arrive at Work
The first thing I do is log on and check my emails and calendar for the day ahead. I will then always look at my to do list and fit it around my meetings on the day. It’s important that I always time block parts of my calendar for urgent tasks.
12:30 PM – Lunch
It’s time for lunch, I’m currently enjoying lentils and a protein yoghurt, not together of course. However, it changes all the time so it’s probably something new when this has gone live.
13:00 PM – Back to Work
It’s time to grind out the afternoon. As an accountant we have a monthly cycle where the first half of the month is month end reporting, with the second half of the month working on projects so I’m always working on something different.
17:30 PM – Head Home
Leave and head home for the day. I usually get home around 6:30 and will always do something with my wife, friends or family. Tonight, I’m going to Nandos with my partner!
21:00 PM – Wind Down for the Night
Time to wind down for the night, I normally watch some TV, we’re currently watching House of Cards and I’m also trying to read Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. “Trying” being the main word there because I’m a horrendously slow reader.
22:30 PM –
Time for bed, If I’m not asleep by 11:00 I know the next morning’s workout is going to be a rough one or be skipped entirely!
