MGI Bass Gordon’s Post

We were delighted that all our sessions ran slightly over schedule - a clear sign that the students were engaged, asked great questions and enjoyed the lively debates. There are numerous ways for students to start investing in their future such as: - attending vac work programmes such as the one MGI Bass Gordon hosted last week - volunteering at an NPO and gaining skills related to their studies (accounting, marketing, events coordination etc) - getting involved with the various student bodies and attending different talks at their universities. Don't finish your studies only to realise you don't know enough about the outside world - start doing your research, developing crucial soft-skills and asking your questions now. #thefutureisyou #youth #empoweryourself #knowledgeispower

My ACCA Journey: 2.5 Years of Growth, Dedication, and First-Time Success! As I look back on my ACCA journey, spanning 2.5 years, I feel proud and excited about the road ahead. Starting through the AFD diploma, I managed to clear all my papers on the first attempt, and I’m hopeful to do the same with the final Strategic Business Leader (SBL) paper. The result is due on 14th October 2024, and I’m eagerly awaiting the next step! Key Lessons I’ve Learned: Consistency is Key: Balancing studies with life was no easy task, but staying consistent has paid off. Growth Through Challenges: Every paper, from the initial to the final ones, brought its own set of challenges, but each taught me something valuable. Believing in the Process: ACCA has been a journey of not just technical learning but personal growth as well. What’s Next? With my ACCA qualification almost complete, I’m now looking to gain practical experience in an audit firm through an internship or articleship. I’m eager to apply the skills I’ve acquired and contribute to the field while continuing to learn from seasoned professionals. If you have any advice or opportunities, I would love to connect! Let’s grow and support each other in this journey. #ACCA #ACCAJourney #Audit #Accounting #Finance #Internship #Articleship #GrowthMindset #FirstAttempt #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerInAudit

The most I learned as a trainee was in this period...to close a decision, to work smart, to multitask, to break communication barriers and discuss matter with owners and partners....and the confidence boost as well . yes it's tough, but what is not... and yes it's tough, but that's what we too train ourselves to be. #september #CA #articled.students

"MY ICAN JOURNEY" A Word which kept me going "ICAN" The word "ICAN" became my motto, reminding me that I CAN do it. I am thrilled to share that I passed my #ican exams in just one attempt within two and a half years. I discovered #ican in my first year of university, Due to financial constraints, I decided to write the exams after my graduation. However, a seminar I attended changed everything. The speaker shared how her #ican certificate and relevant skills landed her an internship at an accounting firm prior to graduation. I knew I had to follow in her footsteps. Determined to succeed, I found a way to raise funds for my exams. I wrote my ATS 1 in March 2022 and, encouraged by my easy pass, I paid for my ATS 2. As I progressed, the exams became increasingly challenging. I was intimidated by the high failure rates in Performance Management (Skills Level) and Advanced Audit and Assurance (Professional Level), but I refused to be held back by fear. Through hard work, dedication, and steadfast prayer, I pushed through the obstacles and achieved my goal. I passed all my papers without attending any tutorials, relying on #ican study packs and online materials. During my journey, I developed strong time management skills, balancing my reading schedule with work commitments. This is just the beginning of my journey... I'm now open to internship opportunities in Auditing, Accounting, Finance, and Investment Banking. I'm eager to apply my knowledge, gain industry insights, and tackle challenging projects. I look forward to learning from experts in my field.
