"I consider myself a creative problem solver, and if the situation ever arises where I don't have all the information I need for a project, I calmly brainstorm ways to locate the data myself. I'm not opposed to asking questions if needed, but I am a strong believer in relying on myself first and foremost, and I don't like to waste anyone else's time. Occasionally in the past, there have been times when information is missing when I'm conducting a financial analysis. I know that there are a variety of ways to gather this information so I begin by thinking through the options. Many times I can contact the client directly and politely ask for the missing information. Sometimes I'm able to look at the customer's transactional history and filter out the data I need. Other times, I dig through files or work with the accounting team to find the past results or reports that I need. Whatever the case, I strive to be self-sufficient, resourceful, and a problem-solver in every instance."
