Vera Littova

Corporate Finance Manager

Vera’s lifelong love of numbers makes accounting the perfect career choice – but it wasn’t always this way.

When her own software start-up in her native Czech Republic lost a major contract to a competitor, Vera learnt firsthand the true cost of over-concentration of customers and lack of emergency financing.

The sad ending led her to appreciate the importance of getting to grips with budget control and contingency planning – experience she brings to her role as corporate finance manager – via stints in in-house payroll and finance roles in the oil, insurance and enterprise software industries.

From sales forecasts to financial health-checks on potential acquirers, Vera is driven by a desire to ‘keep going, keep smiling, and be the best” which came from an inspiring meeting with the top Czech brain surgeon.

Outside of work, Vera can usually be found walking her greyhound D’Artagnan or trying to beat her PB on another mammoth bike ride.

Like most of us, Vera loves Mediterranean food and can hold her breath underwater for ages (just not at the same time!).
