excellent start for fresh graduatesThe good thingsThe role provided good insight into Fund Accounting and the experience has helped me to further my progress as an accountant in my current company(Blackstone), the largest alternative investment manager in the world. As a fresh graduate, it was an excellent platform for me learn and capitalise on massive loads of information on net asset valuation of funds and other key aspects of Fund accounting.
The challengesThere should be more training provided by the HR to better equip fund accountants to understand the operating systems used by by the Firm. Addressing key areas such slow progression of the employees as well as the few perks and low salary could better circumvent the problem of high employee turnover rate. The firm really should do more to retain staffs most of whom does long hours of overtime.
