  JP Market

  Feb 2019 - Sept 2020

  Financial Accountant

  I am the financial accountant of JP Markets (Pty) Ltd, this role has impacted my life dramatically! I have learnt to trust my instincts, understand what makes a true leader and how to be a valued team player, design, implement and manage internal controls, test various management styles as well as introduce a new way of thinking and approach to the business world. I am extremely fortunate to work directly with teams of major incorporation's as well as talented and well respected professionals in the Accounting, Tax and business advisory industry. JP Markets is an up and coming millennial company rejecting the traditional corporate style and approaching the Forex industry with the "out of the box" and innovative approach! This is a new generation that one has to adapt to and understand, working for JP Markets I have mastered the skill of LISTENING! One would laugh and ask why would you say that? Working with creative and technological minds brings about numerous challenges like staying with the approved company budget, not being able to provide concrete answers immediately, but it also brings about the self empowerment, you are forced to reach out to experts to assist you, research new and foreign laws and products in order to get the job done and remain compliant.
