Working as an Accounting Intern at Stella Lumen, Nompumelelo Mbhele has gained valuable hands-on experience in internal auditing and financial compliance through various projects.
“Honestly, the experience has been both challenging and rewarding. The environment at Stella Lumen is incredibly supportive — I’ve been able to strengthen my technical skills, understand the importance of ethics and accuracy, and learn how to handle real financial reporting tasks with confidence.
So far, it’s been such a great learning curve. I’ve had the chance to connect what I learned in class to the real-world. For me, this internship is more than just a job — it’s a stepping stone toward becoming a well-rounded finance professional.”
“My journey in accounting began at Luthuli High, where I developed a strong interest in numbers and financial processes. I pursued this passion at the University of Zululand, graduated with a BCom in Accounting, and have continued to build on my skills ever since. At Stella Lumen, I’ve gained hands-on experience in auditing, evaluating internal controls, supporting compliance, risk assessment, analytical review, and professional reporting, while contributing to meaningful improvements within the firm.
I’m driven by a desire to grow my expertise in accounting and finance, embrace new challenges, and make a real impact wherever I work”
