Learning and growing
Being an au pair has allowed for growth in major areas such as: Organisational skills Managerial skills Time management Multi tasking Discipline Creativity Driving skills. Because children ask a lot of question I was also trained to communicate clearly and effectively. Budgeting played a very important role in Au pairing as I would buy weekly groceries and plan outings, social events and community service programs.
Pros: Great opportunity to grow and learn
Cons: It does not involve my degree

Leading,Motivating&Managed people
Engage on a day to day basis with the Sales Team, Supporting them in Customer Visits, Motivation, and Guidance in Business Approach, Pricing and Implementation of Business Strategies. I would have multiple scheduled meetings with my Head Office, which was based in Germany. My relationship with co-workers, were of utmost importance, to support, guide, motivate, encourage, develop them on a day to day basis. To set some personal/motivational goals for co-workers, as part of their self motivational development. From my experience, I have learned that happy, self motivated, self stimulated people, give much more of them self, to ensure a company is successful. Enjoying, to see how people development; differentiate them from the rest of the everyday person.
Pros: I have been involved from Shop floor to Executive level.I engage at different levels, to Lead ,Motivate and Managed people, to a level where Goals and Objective could be met and changing people’s life’s. Ensuring that my team and I could differentiate our self from our competitors
Cons: By Managing a Team or People, one needs support from Team Leaders. One of the challenges to do this is to find the right people, with the right education and training, to support such a role. If one does not have a supportive team, then a lot of the responsibility lies on my shoulders, which can become a challenge

I'm not sure how to express my need for a office
I'm not a big fan of the house working and the dishes, I have never not worked so it's just the really big thorn in my foot. I ran out of big life changing ideas a week into the new position and the decision to renovate the house AND not use outside trades well in that case I have lost my support for the extended rooms and lazy river swimming pool in my next epic chapter
Pros: It's the same thing every day, and washing dishes is the pits
Cons: I would appreciate a little more people around

Typical working day
My company consists of myself and my partner both qualified CAs. We typically work with bookkeepers where they prepare the work and we provide the CA service, like drafting of annual financial statements and performing audits. We have a diverse portfolio of clients and thus our days are very abnormal and flexible. we work with a big portfolio of lawyers, whose audits re mostly due in August so this month is booked out for them, estate agents and body corporates, whose audits are due in June and again as we have a large portfolio, this month is also typically set aside for them. We typically service the small to medium enterprises who cannot afford a finance person and thus can often find ourselves in the middle of a few companies. We report to eachother and attend varies workshops and conferences to stay abreast of changes in the environment.
Pros: exposure to all sectors
Cons: limited to small companies

Pros: Was fine
Cons: Willing to work long hours or shifts
