It’s time for another ‘Team Spotlight’.<\/h2>\n

\"Ade_Team-Spotlight-Mar-2022\"\u00a0This month, we had the pleasure of interviewing Ade Anonye, our Management Accountant, whose role covers a wide range of tasks and responsibilities. Ade joined Tugela People just over a year and has recently celebrated her 1st<\/sup> anniversary. When asked what her role encompasses, Ade said, “to sum it up in a few sentences, it involves overseeing the end-to-end finance operations, working capital management, and overall financial analysis and planning of Tugela People. It also includes looking to continuously improve on procedures and financial controls”.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your background, and why did you choose to be an Accountant?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Prior to joining Tugela People, I’ve worked in the finance department of various industries ranging from kid’s entertainment (Disney), the music industry (BMG) and the builder’s merchant industry (Travis Perkins).<\/em><\/p>\n

Finance seemed like the obvious choice for me as I am pretty good with numbers. I used to do multiplication and sums in my head just for fun. I’m fascinated by the art of numbers and how they have an impact on our everyday lives.<\/em><\/p>\n

What Inspired you to join Tugela People?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The thirst for wanting to be a part of an SME, that keeps people’s needs at the centre of the business. Tugela People ticks all the boxes perfectly in this area.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

After a year with the team, how has your journey been so far?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My journey so far at Tugela People has been epic! I’ve been able to get hands-on, high-level experience in such a short period of time, and I’m excited for what’s to come.<\/em><\/p>\n

The company culture is phenomenal, and I couldn’t be happier.<\/em><\/p>\n

How do you envision your future with the company?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Contrary to what the popular adage says, “the sky is not the limit” when it comes to what I envision. The future is exceptionally bright with Tugela People, and I look forward to being a part of their ongoing magical success.<\/em><\/p>\n

What makes you ‘tick’?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My two lovely little girls, particularly my eldest daughter, who has complex needs and is neurodiverse. She is a constant reminder of inner strength, determination, perseverance, and humour. Without sounding too cheesy, she’s my ray of sunshine!<\/em><\/p>\n

Having my two little girls has given me a different perspective on life. After having my second child, I decided to obtain my certification towards becoming a chartered accountant. This involved sitting and preparing for extremely challenging exams (approximately 12), whilst working full time, meeting the relevant work experience requirement and being a full-time mum.<\/em><\/p>\n

The certification usually takes the average person 3 \u2013 6 years to complete; however, it took me approximately two years. So it goes without saying this was not an easy task\u2014lots of ‘blood, sweat and tears along the way. I certainly wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of my loving husband and a constant reminder of my “why – my two lovely girls.<\/em><\/p>\n
