Ram Dedicates NZ Bookkeeping Award To Parents

If you’ve learnt something of value in your profes­sional journey, then it­was not a waste of time, says Hasheel Ram.

Mr Ram is a bookkeeper at Associated company Stream­line Business (Fiji) Pte Ltd.

He was recently awarded the 2022 Bookkeeping Employee of the year by Institute of NZ Bookkeepers.

Born and raised in Suva, the 26-year-old said his biggest in­spiration were his parents.

Mr Ram completed his bach­elor’s degree in Accounting and Economics at the Univer­sity of the South Pacific and is now pursuing a certified public accountant (CPA) Aus­tralia.

“I was filled with a roller­coaster of emotions at first when I found out I was the winner, I could not even believe this had eventuated,” he said.

“It was one of those rare moments that rendered me speechless. It was a blessing to even be a finalist alongside my two amazing colleagues who are also from Fiji.

“I am super excited and filled with joy to be receiving this award.”

Mr Ram dedicated his success to the ad­min Army/Streamline team.

“They are all truly pioneers in their re­spective fields. This award is not mine but for every team member to share.

“I get to work with an incredible team that helps me elevate myself as a professional and an individual. It really does take a vil­lage or in my case an army who brings out the best in me and I could not be more grate­ful to the entire team.

“I also would like to dedicate this to my family and friends who have been support­ing me throughout my entire journey which has led to this award today.

He advises youths to have a learning ap­proach and an open mind towards every­thing.

“That journey never ends.”
