My name is Matilda Mashego, and I am originally from a small township in Limpopo called
Dennilton Magakadimeng. Growing up in a community where financial literacy and opportunity were
limited, I studied at Nkangala TVET College, where I completed my N6 in Financial Management in June
2024. During my time at college, I focused on developing strong accounting and administrative
skills, especially in financial reporting, budgeting, and cost management. My coursework was not
only theoretical but also practical, preparing me for real-world application
Work Experience
* Although I didn’t have formal work experience before my internship, I actively applied the principles
I learned in college by assisting local small businesses with basic bookkeeping and budgeting. This
helped me build confidence in my ability to handle financial tasks and communicate financial
information clearly
Why N6 in Financial Management
I developed a deep interest in understanding how money works and how financial systems
can empower individuals and businesses. This passion led me to pursue a qualification in Financial
Management
Internship
I found my current internship opportunity through consistent online job searching and by staying in
contact with people in the finance field. I applied to WG House Accountants and was grateful to be
accepted as an intern. I believe what set me apart was my eagerness to learn and my solid
foundation in financial management principles.
Company
I am currently working as an Accounts Payable Agent at WG House Accountants, a company
that provides professional accounting services to various clients. My responsibilities include
processing invoices, verifying financial documents, capturing transactions, and assisting with
monthly reconciliations. I’m learning how critical accuracy and time management are in the finance
sector, and each day I gain valuable exposure to the flow of real business finances.
