Trainee accountant
I am ambitious about finance, business management and operations. I have gained experience in the Manufacturing, Health industry, Attorneys, Estate agents, Technology, Retail and Non-Profit industries. I have been exposed to the public and private sector. I completed my CTA while I was doing my articles which shows my ability to manage my time effectively. Not only did i complete my CTA during articles but I also achieved excellent results academically I also received consistent promotions during the 3 years of articles. This is a testament to my drive and commitment to give of the best work I possibly can. I am passionate about the business world and eager to follow a career in commerce. Well-organised, highly motivated and an excellent communicator. This is further evident by the various work committees I was a part of during my articles as well as the various motivational talks I gave to schools and university students.
Pros: Great company to work for , people are very friendly
Cons: Very stressful deadlines

There is always something new to learn as the clients are from different industries
A typical day and Mazars is about allocation work to the junior staff, following up on continuing projects, couching and doing the admin task for the projects like updating and reconciling budgets. I have made good relationships with the team members i have worked with. I have learnt to always give people a fair chance and afford my self the opportunity to get to know everyone because people are amazing when you know them. The part i enjoy most about about my job is guiding and couching the junior staff, i am very passionate about about empowerment. I believe when you invest in people you get more capacity through competent and confident teams that get the job done. The most challenging aspect of the job is that we don't have control over everything and sometimes we have to chase hectic deadlines.
Pros: You become an all rounder and you are exposed to different industries and all aspect of the business.
Cons: The tight deadlines require overtime and sometimes working from home

Learning curve
I get along very well with my colleagues and I am a great team leader. I embrace diversity and I do not experience any difficulties in working with people from different cultures and countries. I started my career as a trainee and I have gained a lot of experience in the accounting and auditing field. I enjoy working with people are dedicated and committed to their work. In my job I deal with a lot of different clients and there is always a change of environment, this was challenging when I was a trainee, however I am used to it now.
Pros: Great opportunities for promotion
Cons: Long working hours when necessary.

What makes me perfect for this opportunity
I am in the employ of Mazars as a Credit Controller in finance department. My core function is to ensure all debt gets paid, from over 90 days, and current, and ensure that my partners are updated at all times. I build and maintain relations with all clients, both corporate and individual to ensure that I am always informed with the financial circumstances, and ensure to be paid before other creditors. I work on Excel on a day to day basis, as I provide most of my clients with recons. I do not have pastel experience, as our invoices, credit notes, journals etc, gets processed on a system called Greatsoft. I will however be doing pastel as a subject in August 2017 through Boston College. Please refer to my Curriculum Vitae. I do believe that my expertise is what makes me suitable for this position, and commit to add more value, bring positive energy to your finance department.
Pros: Experience

Learning curve is great
Good day, Im not even sure where to start (giggles) ok i get to work at about 07:50am get my coffee ,switch on everything get ready o take phone calls read emails and respond. check all boardroom phones are working, check on all staff members who havent clocked in, knwing their wherebouts is my job. The relationship i have with everybody is absolutely beautiful and because im at reception im forever greeting and chatting to people (they call me counsellor). The company i work for is my first real job thats why i'll forever charish all good and bad moments lol the bad would be when i couldnt complete daily tasks that ive set for myself due to illness or because im stretching my hands too far helping other departments with their tasks. Basically thats what i do. What i love most would be talking to clients in person or over the phone most of them dont even have to introduce them selves coz we alrealdy have a relationship/we know each other. I hope that gives you an insight of who i am :-)
Pros: Excellent learning curve
Cons: I work for accountants therefore there isnt much growth
