There is always something new to learn as the clients are from different industries
A typical day and Mazars is about allocation work to the junior staff, following up on continuing projects, couching and doing the admin task for the projects like updating and reconciling budgets. I have made good relationships with the team members i have worked with. I have learnt to always give people a fair chance and afford my self the opportunity to get to know everyone because people are amazing when you know them. The part i enjoy most about about my job is guiding and couching the junior staff, i am very passionate about about empowerment. I believe when you invest in people you get more capacity through competent and confident teams that get the job done. The most challenging aspect of the job is that we don't have control over everything and sometimes we have to chase hectic deadlines.
Pros: You become an all rounder and you are exposed to different industries and all aspect of the business.
Cons: The tight deadlines require overtime and sometimes working from home

Learning curve is great
Good day, Im not even sure where to start (giggles) ok i get to work at about 07:50am get my coffee ,switch on everything get ready o take phone calls read emails and respond. check all boardroom phones are working, check on all staff members who havent clocked in, knwing their wherebouts is my job. The relationship i have with everybody is absolutely beautiful and because im at reception im forever greeting and chatting to people (they call me counsellor). The company i work for is my first real job thats why i'll forever charish all good and bad moments lol the bad would be when i couldnt complete daily tasks that ive set for myself due to illness or because im stretching my hands too far helping other departments with their tasks. Basically thats what i do. What i love most would be talking to clients in person or over the phone most of them dont even have to introduce them selves coz we alrealdy have a relationship/we know each other. I hope that gives you an insight of who i am :-)
Pros: Excellent learning curve
Cons: I work for accountants therefore there isnt much growth
