Well today was my first day at the new job. It started off with me having to talk to tech support to set up my user account. After that I had to talk to the guys from the accounting software to have the license transferred over to me, in order for me to be able to work. Unfortunately I forgot to tell them that I needed access to the invoicing and order processing module as well...so I will have to talk to them on Monday again.
I spent the rest of the day with setting the computer, calendar and Outlook up the way it works best for me. Had to check on some overdue notices that arrived in today's mail. Did some more work with customer overdue notices. The rest was pretty much basic administrative tasks.
What I've learned so far is that this job goes way beyond accounting. There are quite a number of additional things that I have to take care as well. If I get a notice it's expected that I act on it and as long as it is being done I won't be asked if I have finished it. It also became very clear that you have to be able to organize yourself quite will and have to be on top of your game each and every day. On the other hand you have a lot of free space that you can maneuver in.
So all in all it has be a good first day. I will keep you guys posted on how things are progressing.
