Introducing DISQO Team Member of the Month: Burt Babakani
What it takes to be a successful accounting manager
What do you love most about your job?
Being able to support and develop others. I also love working alongside the high-caliber professionals in the accounting, finance, and operational teams here at DISQO.
What does your ideal Saturday look like?
I wake up very early before my family to practice music, exercise, and read. As soon as my family wakes up I turn into a family man for the rest of the day (making breakfast, taking the kids to the park, go to the zoo, etc.)
What’s one of your favorite or proudest DISQO moments?
Being promoted to Revenue Accounting Manager in August 2021 and being selected as Team Member of the Month in October 2022. Although these seem to be individual accolades, I am proud of them because they also reflect the success of my team.
What was the last TV show you binge-watched?
The Redeem Team on Netflix
What’s something most people don’t know about your role?
To be successful as an accounting manager, one needs good communication and interpersonal skills. People don’t usually associate these skills with accounting.
Tell us one fun fact about yourself!
I can juggle, make balloon animals, and do card tricks… so feel free to book me as a clown at your kid’s next birthday party.
