Eva Belková among the laureates of the #FinŽeny Hall of Fame
Eva Belková, BSO Partner at BDO Slovakia, has been named among the laureates of the #FinŽeny Hall of Fame, an initiative recognizing outstanding women shaping Slovak business and the financial sector.
The recognition comes at a time when the financial and advisory industry is transforming faster than ever before. Companies are facing growing client expectations, increasing pressure on efficiency, digital transformation, and major shifts driven by artificial intelligence. In this environment, success is no longer defined solely by expertise, but also by the ability to lead people, make strategic decisions, and build trust.
At BDO Slovakia, Eva Belková has long been driving the development of outsourcing and financial services for both local and international clients. Beyond her professional expertise, she is particularly recognized for her ability to connect business, technology, and a human-centered approach - a combination that has become essential for modern leadership today.
“Growth happens when people are willing to embrace challenges.”

Leadership is also shaped by trust
In her interview for #FinŽeny Eva shared how her professional journey was largely shaped by moments when she was trusted with significant responsibility. She did not grow into a leadership role because she had a ready-made manual for everything, but because she was willing to embrace challenges and step into them with confidence.
“Growth comes primarily from not being afraid to embrace challenges.”

Success in the world of finance is not built on expertise alone
Today’s leaders need to do far more than simply deliver results.
They must be able to create an environment where people can grow, take ownership, and perform even in times of change. That is why Eva sees leadership as a combination of expertise and humanity - not as two separate qualities, but as strengths that fundamentally reinforce one another.
“A female leader in finance should combine expertise with humanity.”

That is also why today’s clients expect far more from advisory and financial partners than accurate outputs alone. They look for partners who understand the broader context of their business, can identify risks, recognize opportunities, and deliver solutions with tangible value.
AI, performance pressure, and the ability to adapt
The financial and advisory sector is currently undergoing one of its biggest transformations in recent years. Automation, artificial intelligence, and evolving market expectations are reshaping the way teams work and operate.
That makes the ability to adapt more important than ever.
According to Eva, resilience has become one of the defining qualities of modern leadership - the ability to manage pressure, embrace change, and still maintain a clear sense of direction.
“The financial world is dynamic, often high-pressure, and constantly changing. The ability to handle challenging situations, learn from mistakes, and keep moving forward is absolutely essential in my view.”

An environment where confidence and independence can grow
An important topic for Eva Belková is also supporting younger female colleagues and creating an environment where they can grow both professionally and personally.
In mentoring, she places emphasis not only on professional expertise, but above all on building confidence, independent thinking, and the ability to take ownership of one’s decisions. She encourages younger colleagues to ask questions, make decisions, and naturally develop their own professional voice.
Technical expertise can be learned over time. What matters even more, however, is healthy self-confidence, the ability to stand one’s ground, and trust in one’s own abilities.
“Every woman has her own hidden superpowers. She is usually just too modest to talk about them.”
