Ellen Powell

Corporate Administrator

Aztec Group

What does a typical working day involve for you?

Every day is different as we work with clients to set up companies, trusts and funds and continue to support with the fund administration once they’re up and running. That means we spend a lot of time with our clients, so we form strong and lasting relationships with them to the point you feel like an extension of their team – that’s what I enjoy most about the role.

With the range of tasks we have, there is always something new to learn which is where our in-house learning and development team, the Aztec Academy, comes in. The team offers a whole host of training so we can refresh our knowledge and stay up to date with the latest industry developments.

How did you get your job?

I graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2019 with a BSc in Psychology and after applying directly on its website, joined the Aztec Group as a Trainee. Originally I joined the Employee Engagement team and later decided to make a change and join the growing Corporate Services team.

Finding a team that best suits your interests and strengths is something that is both supported and encouraged at Aztec which made the move that bit more enjoyable.

What motivates you in this role?

I like that the role is varied and I’m constantly learning. Thanks to the variety of clients we work with, I am continually working with the team to find new solutions.

I enjoy helping to train junior members of the team and pass on the knowledge responsibility as I also continue progress
