meet Natasha Nyabereka

I decided to join #TEAMBASS based on the promise of wide client industry exposure and hands-on contact with clients. I stayed because they delivered on their promises and more. Interacting directly with clients provided me the opportunity to explore the different industries in which I may want to become a part of as an aspiring CA(SA). Furthermore, the team engagements have allowed me to build friendships beyond office hours and a great support structure.

meet Ankia Ackermann

To me it was important to find a training office that champions values that are close to my own. Not only did I find that at #TEAMBASS; I found an environment where investment in skills development is a priority, management is actively involved in your growth as a trainee and the Partners’ open-door policy really is an open-door policy. I can’t imagine doing articles anywhere else.
