Learning curve

I enjoy what I do, the only reason for moving is for more growth. A typical work day is extremely busy, with lots of queries and calls, and lots of pressure especially at month end, I have however learnt to deal with this. I have a great relationship with my colleagues, we have a good relationship and we understand and assist each other. I work with a great team and I enjoy the way we work together. Month end cut off is the most challenging time for me.

Pros: Work with a great team
Cons: distance of travelling.

The pressure of working for one of the best in the industry always keep on my toas.

I am working for one of the best in the industry and I have gained huge experience working for this company. I have a great working spirit with my teammates and I also train new staff members. I enjoy working with people and figures and my challenges are obtaining information from third party in order to be inline with my deadlines. I have learned that there are no short cuts in life and you need to build relationships and maintain them as well. On a busy day there would be numerous deadlines on the day making you run around, however with experience now in place I know that some of the work than can be done and released before deadline date gets to be done and released.

Pros: Due to my commitment and professionalism, I have been promoted to senior fund accountant which is in the same line as team leader role.
Cons: I put the client first and at times I have to work long hours including weekends to meet the client's demands.
