Which leadership trait helps you the most in creating a company that provides top-quality accounting and auditing services?

If I had to define one leading trait, it is the courage to uphold the standard, even when it requires more effort, more time and sometimes tougher decisions. In the field of audit, quality is not merely a technical criterion but a moral stance. I believe leadership means taking personal responsibility for every opinion you sign and every recommendation you make.

From the very beginning, I built Staneva CPA on the principles of professional independence, transparency and strategic thinking. For me, accounting and auditing are not administrative functions but tools for sustainable management. We invest in training, technology and internal quality control mechanisms, yet the most valuable resource remains the team culture – a culture of integrity and long-term responsibility.

What was the key managerial decision that helped you build the authority of Staneva CPA?

The key choice was not to compromise on our positioning. Instead of pursuing the mass market and rapid growth, we chose to develop as a boutique expert practice with high added value. We specialised in more complex cases – companies with dynamic structures, cross-border operations and tougher regulatory requirements.

This decision required strategic patience, but it allowed us to build a reputation as a reliable and independent financial partner. Authority is not something you just declare – it is something that you consistently prove over time. For me, it was important that clients see us not merely as an external auditor, but as an expert who considers their business's long-term sustainability.

How did you manage to establish your company in international markets?

International presence is a natural extension of a high standard. Working according to International Financial Reporting and Auditing Standards is a necessary foundation, but it is not enough. Understanding different business cultures and the ability for strategic communication are essential.

We focused on companies with international operations and investors seeking stability and transparency. We built partnerships with foreign experts and ensured a bilingual professional environment. For me, the global market is not a question of geography but of mindset – when your standard is international, borders naturally disappear.

Таня Станева: Доверието се изгражда с характер

За лидерството като лична отговорност и за визията зад успеха на Staneva CPA

Таня Станева е дипломиран експерт-счетоводител и управляващ партньор на Staneva CPA. Има над 15 години опит във финансовия одит, стратегическото финансово консултиране и изграждането на системи за вътрешен контрол и управление на риска.

Коя Ваша лидерска черта Ви помага най-много, за да създадете компания, която предоставя счетоводни и одитни услуги от най-високо качество?

Ако трябва да определя една водеща черта, това е смелостта да отстоявам стандарта – дори когато той изисква повече усилия, повече време и понякога по-трудни решения. В сферата на одита качеството не е просто технически критерий, а морална позиция. Вярвам, че лидерството означава да носиш лична отговорност за всяко подписано становище и за всяка препоръка, която даваш.

От самото начало изградих Staneva CPA върху принципите на професионална независимост, прозрачност и стратегическо мислене. За мен счетоводството и одитът не са административна функция, а инструмент за устойчиво управление. Инвестираме в обучение, технологии и вътрешни механизми за контрол на качеството, но най-ценният ресурс остава културата на екипа – култура на почтеност и дългосрочна отговорност.

Кое беше ключовото мениджърско решение, благодарение на което изградихте авторитета на Staneva CPA?

Ключовият избор беше да не правим компромис с позиционирането си. Вместо да се стремим към масов пазар и бърз растеж, избрахме да се развиваме като бутикова експертна практика с висока добавена стойност. Специализирахме в по-сложни казуси – компании с динамична структура, трансгранични операции и засилени регулаторни изисквания.

Това решение изискваше стратегическо търпение, но ни позволи да изградим репутация на надежден и независим финансов партньор. Авторитетът не се заявява – той се доказва последователно във времето. За мен беше важно клиентите да ни възприемат не просто като външен одитор, а като експерт, който мисли за устойчивостта на бизнеса им в дългосрочен план.

Как успяхте да утвърдите компанията си и на международните пазари?

Международното присъствие е естествено продължение на високия стандарт. Работата по Международните стандарти за финансово отчитане и одит е задължителна основа, но не е достатъчна. Необходимо е разбиране на различните бизнес култури и способност за стратегическа комуникация.

Фокусирахме се върху компании с международна дейност и инвеститори, които търсят стабилност и прозрачност. Изградихме партньорства с чуждестранни експерти и осигурихме двуезична професионална среда. За мен глобалният пазар не е въпрос на география, а на мислене – когато стандартът ти е международен, границите естествено отпадат.
