I'm a recent BCom accounting graduate from the University of Johannesburg, currently gaining hands-on experience as a finance intern. I’ve always been drawn to the structure and logic of financial systems, and my studies helped me build a strong foundation in areas like financial reporting, auditing, and tax.
Work Experience
*I’m currently working as a finance intern; this is my first formal work experience in the field. However, during university, I was actively involved in group projects and case studies that simulated real-world accounting scenarios.
Why Degree in Finance/Commerce
I chose to study BCom Accounting because I enjoy working with numbers and solving problems. I’ve always liked how accounting helps businesses understand their finances and make good financial decisions.
Internship

As an intern, I get to assist with tasks like processing invoices, reconciling accounts, and doing monthly creditor's reconciliations.
