Laura Masheder

What is your role at BHP?
I head up the charity and not-for-profit (NFP) team at BHP, where I look after NFP and corporate clients, and I also lead the York audit team.

What are you most passionate about?
I really enjoy working with my clients throughout the audit to add value to the organisation, this might be commercially or via improved systems, controls or improving the governance arrangements.

What keeps you motivated?
No two days are the same; my client base is diverse, and alongside my responsibilities within BHP, I can never be sure what my day will look like. However, I’m motivated by supporting my clients and the team internally to grow and develop.

What advice would you give trainees starting out?
There’s no such thing as a stupid question! And that if you are striving to help make the job of your manager as easy as possible, you will always progress quickly through your career!

What is your favourite thing to do at the weekend?
I spend too much time in front of a screen during the week. Weekends are varied and I enjoy live music and comedy gigs and we also like been outdoors and spend most of our Sundays exploring various parts of Yorkshire on a walk.
