Mehnaz Ibrahim-Khan is always on the go. When the 34-year-old isn’t looking after her four children, aged one to 10, she’s at one of her two part-time jobs. “As a parent, I am very used to multitasking and switching from one thing to the next,” she says. “The trick is to be as organised as possible and plan ahead.”
After studying for a degree in business management, Ibrahim-Khan got a job as a junior accounts receivable administrator at a security firm. Fast-forward 10 years, and she’s worked her way up to a multifaceted role working across multiple departments. “As it’s a small business, I’m expected to wear different hats all the time and adapt my skillset as the business grows,” she says. “I now manage the whole accounts department, overseeing accounts receivable and accounts payable, along with liaising with our accountants. I’m also in charge of HR and payroll, and assist on the marketing and sales side of things too.”
