Back me up
Get a letter from CIBA’s CEO that backs you as a Chartered professional.
You Did the Work. We'll Say the Words.
You're not just "the accounts person." You're a Chartered finance professional. You’ve studied. You’ve passed. You’ve proven your technical skills (IQ) and your commitment to ethical, responsible conduct (EQ).
Now you're asking for what you've earned, a raise, a promotion, study support, or just some recognition.
Let CIBA back you up.
What's “Back Me Up”?
It's a letter of professional assurance.
You tell us what you need, and we generate a personalised PDF letter, signed by the CIBA CEO, that makes your case to your employer.
