Background

About Luis Culora

With a strong passion for numeracy and finance, I have been fortunate to gain placement opportunities at RBC and an opportunity to work at Michael Omiros. In addition, I have secured a Flying Start Degree in Accountancy (BSc) with PwC at QM, where I am also completing the ACA qualification. I previously declined an offer for a Degree Apprenticeship from JP Morgan in favour of this path. During my placement at RBC, I gained valuable exposure to the trading floor, where I observed firsthand how assets are traded to maximize returns. I also shadowed professionals in the Futures division, gaining insight into the strategic approach and communication techniques used when engaging with clients. At Michael Omiros, I quickly mastered Xero software and honed my Excel skills, which allowed me to efficiently manage a portfolio of clients. My responsibilities include handling general bookkeeping, preparing tax and VAT returns for the fiscal year, and providing tailored financial solutions. This experience has not only deepened my technical expertise but also earned the confidence of my employer to entrust me with key financial management tasks.
