The position provided a wider spectrum of responsibilities relating to finance processes

Each day provides new issues and queries that need to be resolved whilst having to meet deadlines. We have a great team dynamic and offer assistance when needed and when one of the team members are not able to cope or not available. I have learnt alot about dealing will different people and their characteristics. I have grown stronger emotionally. I have been given exposure to much more finance responsibilities as apposed to the previous work experience I had. I enjoy speaking to the people from other departments that I deal with. The most challenging would to ensure that month end entries are allocated in the month and journals relating to clearing these items by month end .

Pros: Great exposure to manufacturing industry and good remuneration
Cons: Having to work fixed hours, no flexibility, unable to work from home when the need arises,
