Excellent learning ability
I enjoy working as a fund accountant as it challenges me and expose me to different aspects almost everyday. It taught me the importance of working with other people and improved my strongest points like, attention to detail, working under pressure and working hard to achieve the best possible results. But challenges come when you have to meet deadline and you have statements that you requested but did not get anything back, you follow up with no luck.
Pros: exposure to financial industry
Cons: long working hours and lack of proper training

Personal and team empowerment
I check my email before everything every morning to see if is the important things from a client or my manager. Firstly I download statements from the portal of the client. And paste them in our system. If the are new instructions trading I upload the in Investone. Invest one should equal the broker if not I have to investigate what went wrong. I upload interest on a daily basis as well. I process everything and then pool NAV breakdown summary that I will send to the client, I do that on a daily basis as well. Everybody I'm working with is friendly and we work as a team. Because if I done with my work for a day I assist other so that we can leave early. I have learnt many things. Firstly how to price instruments such as SWAPs and FRAs, distribution of income, TERs. I have also learnt that at work we have to finish work on time, because by doing that everything will work smoothly.
Pros: Working with specialist on the field.
Cons: The company is currently retrenching.

My Experience
I have learnt a lot here at Maitland, my day consists of communicating with clients, sorting out their incidents in a timely manner, I like to collaborate with colleagues as I believe I learn more when I collaborate. I have a good relationship with my colleagues as I'm a warm talkative person who is always eager to assist and explore in other work avenues whenever the opportunity arises, I always assist where I can and that has made it easier for colleagues to trust me when it comes to work as I always avail myself. I mostly enjoy making sure that all issues that clients have are resolved and are happy and able to work or continue with their as per normal. The challenges I have faced is lack of knowledge sharing. I also experienced a challenge where I wanted to shadow another employee but I was not allowed, which I felt that closed the gap for me to learn more.
Pros: Collaboration
Cons: working overtime but not getting paid enough

Excelent learning environmnt
Working for Maitland has given me an opportunity to function fully as a generalist. I manage the HR for Johannesburg from On-boarding to Exit interview. I have managed to build a good relationship with the staff as we have acquired two business units, this has given me an opportunity to get to know each and every employee on the same note the acquisition has exposed me to different challenges that employees face in the transition process. What I have enjoyed the most is to see a company grown and being part of that growth. The changes and challenges faced, the opportunity of being creating and implement a better way of operating. What I have found most challenging is the culture differences and managing employee expectations and dual management
Pros: great opportunity to grow
Cons: dual management very demanding
