1 Know your purpose

Before you start networking, you need to have a clear idea of why you are doing it and what you want to achieve. Do you want to find a mentor, a partner, a client, or a friend? Do you want to learn something new, share your expertise, or get feedback? Do you want to explore different career paths, find new opportunities, or grow your reputation? Having a specific purpose will help you identify who to reach out to, what to say, and how to follow up.

You can build valuable professional relationships by sharing ideas, learning from others, and offering assistance. It's akin to making friends at school but in the context of the workplace, where collaboration and mutual support can lead to growth and success. By engaging with others in your field, you not only broaden your knowledge and skill set but also cultivate valuable relationships that can benefit both parties professionally.

2 Find your platforms

Networking can happen in various settings and formats, both online and offline. You can join professional associations, attend events, participate in forums, write blogs, join webinars, or use social media platforms like LinkedIn. Depending on your purpose and preferences, you can choose the platforms that suit you best and allow you to showcase your skills and personality. However, don't limit yourself to one platform or mode of communication. Try to diversify your network and use different channels to connect with different people.

In internally-focused world of corporate accounting networking is essential for growth. Here's how you can excel: Know Your Goals: What do you want from networking? Mentorship, industry insights, potential job opportunities? Clarity drives effective outreach. Go beyond Accounting: Build relationships with cross-functional teams (sales, marketing, operations). This gives you a broader business perspective. Industry Groups: Join local chapters of professional associations. These offer structured networking events and knowledge-sharing. Become a Resource: Share your expertise on LinkedIn or within company channels. People are drawn to those who offer value. Focus on building authentic relationships, not just collecting contacts.

3 Be proactive and respectful

Networking is not a one-way street. You need to be proactive and respectful in initiating and maintaining your relationships. Don't wait for others to contact you or expect them to do you favors. Instead, reach out to people who interest you, introduce yourself, ask relevant questions, and offer value. Be polite, friendly, and genuine in your interactions. Don't spam, stalk, or pressure anyone. Respect their time, privacy, and boundaries. And don't forget to follow up, thank them, and keep in touch.

4 Be curious and open-minded

Networking is also a learning opportunity. You can gain new insights, perspectives, and ideas from your contacts. Be curious and open-minded in your conversations. Listen actively, ask questions, and show interest. Don't be afraid to share your opinions, challenges, and goals, but also be respectful of different views and experiences. Don't be too rigid or defensive in your beliefs or assumptions. Be willing to learn from others and explore new possibilities.

5 Be generous and supportive

Networking is not only about what you can get, but also what you can give. Be generous and supportive in your network. Share your knowledge, skills, and resources with others. Offer help, advice, or referrals when appropriate. Congratulate, praise, or endorse your contacts for their achievements. Celebrate, empathize, or comfort them for their challenges. Show appreciation and gratitude for their support. Be a positive and helpful presence in your network.

Networking is a skill that can be improved with practice and patience. By following these tips, you can become a better networker in corporate accounting and reap the benefits of your connections.

Imagine you have a big box of toys, and you want to play with other kids who have different toys. To do that, you need to talk to them and share your toys too! Similarly, in corporate accounting, being better networked means talking to and connecting with other people who work in similar jobs or industries. You can share ideas, learn new things, and even help each other out. It's like making friends at school, but for grown-ups at work!
