Curo Fund Services Reviews

 

Huge amount of client interaction and collaboration with other teams

My job requires a lot of Client interaction. Attention to detail and a high level of accuracy is of utmost importance. Attending to client requests, queries or issues must be resolved within 24 hours. Building strong relationships with the client and within the company is extremely important. It is imperative to ensure that controls are complied with and to find ways to reduce errors and mitigate risk. Multi skilling is necessary to provide cover on other processes in the event of staff shortages. One should be able to work under pressure and adhere to strict deadlines. Working on projects to improve automation and business effiency is also required. Strong communication skills, both verbal and written is necessary. The ability to work independently or as part of a team is required. Respect and integrity is important. The most amazing thing that I find is that you are always learning. What I find satisfying is when clients or co workers are happy with my deliverables expertise.

Pros: Opportunity for personal growth
Cons: Long work hours

Been a great learning journey of growth

Working at Curo had given me the opportunity to grow in the investment industry. Getting to learn how the b back office space of the investment industry operates and the affect we have in the market. Exposure to some of the top investment firms in South Africa as our clients and having the chance to meet clients. There are challenges like any other firm and industry, but what you what take from it enables you grow and develop your career profile. Those were dealing with a multi tude of audits throughout the year, as a team leader of a team of 10 is a challenge in itself and iv learnt the most of myself leading a team in the past 2 years. In our industry we have many deliverables daily monthly quarterly yearly, servicing so many clients and responsible for information that is used to make investment decisions expects a continuous maintained output with minimal impact to our clients and their shareholders.

Pros: Growth and study opportunities
Cons: Long hours

Good working culture, limited growth to young people

Curo is the first company I’ve worked for. I initially wanted to be an intern for auditing department and I was unsuccessful a graduate with cost and management accounting degree was taken over me who graduated in Internal auditing with cum laude. I later enrolled for risk management and made it known bu management that I’d like to have an opportunity in risk management department and again opportunities are given to other people who don’t have the qualifications and not studying towards risk management. There’s limited opportunities for specializing departments especially for young people.

Pros: Good plat form for a career foundation
Cons: Long working hours

Swings and Roundabouts, but not ideal.

Operations - Many teams working in tandem to ensure client centricity through operational excellence. Key is the achievement of hourly deadlines to ensure the successful processing of trades in order to strike NAVs and execute reporting. Escalation is paramount to swift resolution of any setbacks.

Pros: Quarterly Rewards and Recognition; WIFI; Flexibility
Cons: Political agendas at senior levels; Too little living of values
