Xhuliana Metani at BALFIN Group, the quiet moments behind a confident career

Xhuliana Metani – Finance Manager, Green Coast

For me, BALFIN Group has never been just a workplace. It’s where I’ve grown, step by step, both professionally and personally. It’s a place that trusts you with responsibility, challenges you to learn, and pushes you to become better every single day.

Take us behind the scenes of your journey at BALFIN Group
I joined Green Coast in April 2020 as a Finance Officer. From day one, I had the opportunity to work alongside experienced colleagues who didn’t simply teach me the technical side of the role, but also influenced the way I think, communicate, and face challenges. That mentorship, combined with a strong sense of teamwork, became the foundation of my journey. Over time, I took on broader responsibilities, and with each new step came more learning, more growth, and more confidence.

Was there a moment when you realized you made the right choice
Not one single moment, but many small ones that added up. The moments when support felt natural. When questions weren’t judged, but welcomed. When doubts were treated as part of the learning process. And when my development was clearly seen as a long-term investment, those were the signs that I was exactly where I needed to be.

What are you most proud of in your career at BALFIN Group
I’m most proud of the trust I’ve been given, and the chance to contribute to meaningful processes that truly matter. More than any individual achievement, I see my growth as the result of consistent support, guidance, and confidence throughout the journey.

What’s something that could only happen at BALFIN Group
What makes BALFIN Group stand out is that finance isn’t only there to support the business, it actively shapes it. When financial strategy is embedded across departments, it becomes a driver of smart decisions, innovation, and measured risk-taking. That kind of integration creates room to grow in ways that wouldn’t be possible without a strong, forward-looking financial foundation like the one BALFIN builds.

Describe the best day you’ve had at work
Honestly, my best days are often outside of work. But when it comes to the office, the days that stay with me are the ones where a difficult challenge is brought to a close successfully, when the pressure lifts and you’re left with that real feeling of professional fulfillment.

A message to all readers
Growth doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from dedication, curiosity, and being given the space and trust to stretch yourself. At BALFIN Group, anyone who stays committed, keeps learning, and is willing to take on challenges can genuinely thrive.
