By Delaney: One thing I did not consider when applying as a Collections Specialist is just how many ‘hats’ I’d come to wear in this role.

The longer I have been with American Profit Recovery, the more I have grown familiar with the assortment of different industries that we recover funds for.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. But if you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner, and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top. 🗻 What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level. The higher you go, the more your effectiveness depends on how you connect, adapt, and communicate.
