Welcome back to Scale Her Up! Today we have Jenny Junnier, a good friend of the show and a fantastic champion of women in business herself. She is both the audit partner in Johnson and Carmichael Charted Accountants and one of the founders of the Axis Network. Johnson and Carmichael specialise in all areas of accounting- from family planning, to entrepreneurial taxes, to large and small businesses and even personal accounts. During their almost 90 years in business they’ve grown from a small firm that helped local farmers to a Scotland renowned firm that covers all. She specialises in audits and helps ensures that businesses have their finance in order so they can help secure investors and backing. Jenny’s also a founder of Axis Network, a networking community in Aberdeen meant to help level the playing field for men and women across sectors. Although they started in the oil and gas industry, they expanded, and within their first few years had nearly 800 members, all aquired without spending a penny. Today she gives an accountants take on starting a business. The importance of having the right people around you that you can take numbers and finance with. She talks about her own career journey and how motherhood opened up her eyes to see how women could be treated in the workplace. And finally she discusses her passion for gender equality and increasing female presence in C-Suite Roles. Today’s episode was an absolute pleasure to film and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
