OUR CLIENT CALLED US ABOUT…
The year is 2019, 8 AM, Sunday Morning, our client calls us“Our electricity will be cut off, our facilities will stop, please help!” – CFO, UAE.The world’s most valuable cloud kitchens company is one of Oblique Consult’s most valuable partners. Likewise, Oblique Consultant has acted as the company’s accounting firm since the company’s rapid growth and evolution in the global markets.
CONTEX
Due to the international nature of our client, and the hierarchy of payment authorizations which are enforced from the United States, there tend be natural delays in their payment structures.
THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE NEED OF 6 FIGURES PAYMENT
However, due to one particular delay, our client’s Dubai office was on a time bomb, with only a few hours left before their electricity supply was cut off.During this time, Oblique was a new startup, and the 6-figures amount of payment did not even exist in Oblique’s bank account.
OUR CEO MADE A DECISION TO MAKE IT
FROM HIS PERSONAL ACCOUNT
Yet, our clients are always our partners. This meant that Wahaj Siddique, the CEO of Oblique Consult, took the decision to make the 6-figures payment from his personal bank account, not only at the risk of non-payment by the client, but also the potential risk of non-authorization from the U.S. headquarters to the respective payment.This is something that our clients appreciate till today. We keep a true emotional connection with our clients. Our client’s success is our success, and we make sure to do everything in our humble powers to ensure that the lights stay on, literally!
