Our Consulting Story
I wanted to be a consultant by the time I was taking my final CIMA exams. Soon after I qualified, I joined one of the top 4 consulting firms but there was no soft landing for me, it was tough. Soon, I started to wonder if consulting was for me. A chance meeting with the head of a top global bank changed that. After spending some minutes listening to her challenges, she said “you just get it, this is absolutely what you should be doing! This was the affirmation I needed that I was on the right career path. Soon afterwards I left and set up CFBL Consulting, a specialist consultancy.
The purpose of our work placement training is to give back to those with a keen interest in consulting and finance. Our training is particularly targeted at international students and those from diverse minority ethnic backgrounds. The aim is to give candidates the soft landing I never had while also instilling in them an entrepreneurial mindset so that our alumni are equipped with practical hands-on skills, confidence, and resilience to emerge as top consultants and innovative start-up entrepreneurs.

During my internship with CFBL, I used Excel pivot tables, What-if analysis, and Forecast sheets, among other analytical tools, to build visual dashboards that display core data to drive business insight and decision-making. In addition, I have used specialised data visualisation software Tableau and Power BI as an additional comparative baseline of analysis to better evaluate existing business strategies and assisted in the implementation of initial growth plans while securely managing and monitoring performance.
