Nerija K. Associate, Accounting
Although a big decision, I am glad I took the career opportunity Western Union offered me to relocate to another part of the world. The sky is the limit, and you know that you keep on learning and growing every day with great leaders supporting your journey.
Wilmer M. Senior Accountant

I am happy to say that I have been with Western Union since 2017, receiving great opportunities to grow within the company. I have met fantastic leaders who inspire and support me no matter what. I am in a great environment to work, learn, help others grow, and lead them through their accounting journey.

Rasa J. Manager, Accounting
During the work-from-abroad pilot Western Union offered, I was excited to spend a month and a half working in Tenerife, Spain. While working there, I used my free time to travel around the island, visit parks, paraglide, whale watching, and more. My working days ended with long walks, and every weekend felt like a mini-vacation. It was an incredible experience, and if given a chance to work in your dream country, I recommend you take it. I am grateful to Western Union for the opportunity I received.
Aiste M. Supervisor, Accounting
My experience started in 2021 when I was offered a Contractor Senior Accountant role. I was afraid to work in a temporary agreement, so I initially turned down the offer. I began to read more about the company, its values, and its support of employee development. I learned there are plenty of teams with diverse specializations and room for growth as a professional and individual, including ACCA certification, LinkedIn Learning, and internal training courses. Finally, I accepted the offer and am proud to work at Western Union.
Sarune G. Supervisor, Accounting
The best thing for me is that it is not just accounting. As someone who has always been interested in automation, minimizing manual work, and learning about new programs, I have developed new skills using Alteryx. It helped our team save time during month-end close and other daily tasks. There is nothing better than doing a 4-hour-task in 15 minutes.
Laura M. Senior Specialist, Accounting
I am grateful for the support of my professional development, as the Accounting team offers many different specializations and opportunities. Since joining in 2017, I have been involved in various new software implementations within multiple project groups, making my accounting career path very diverse. It is indeed a rewarding experience to feel the global reach of our purpose.
