We were fortunate to have Janice Flynn, the Global Corporate Controller for Rackspace, join us for this episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast.Staff Auditor, to VP, and onward…Janice’s career has followed the path that most of college students dream of. She started in an internship, her boss referred her into an audit position, she worked for national accounting firms, and now most recently large corporations – progressing with each step along the way.  However, she’s very quick to point out that she has had the good fortune to work for some truly exceptional managers. It’s those managers that she credits with providing her with all of the opportunities she has been blessed with.EmpowermentAs we got to the point in the interview where we were discussing Rackspace itself, one of the observations Janice made was that Rackspace is highly efficient when it comes to the implementation of new ideas, particularly given that they are an organization of over 5000 employees at this point!  Empowerment of their employees, or ‘Rackers’ as they are called, is key to this efficiency and it’s an important competitive advantage in the technology space.Balance &amp; PrioritiesObviously any rapidly-progressing career comes with the necessity of having clear priorities. Janice comments towards the end of the podcast that one of the primary reasons she has been able to continue to advance in her career is that she has an amazingly supportive partner in life – her husband.  Without his unwavering support, she would not have been able to have the career she has been blessed with.  This support, along with the advice she received early on in her career that ‘you have to prioritize what you love’, has been key to maintaining balance along the way.Janice was very kind to share her time and insight with us. This episode is golden if you are searching for how to have a successful, progressive career and achieve reasonable balance in your overall life.Enjoy!
