Please tell me a bit about yourself
I am a senior management accountant. I have only ever had two other jobs – I started YTS 1 week after I left school then I stayed there for 9.5 years, my most recent job I had for 26.5 years! I joined the team at Applica as I know Tom, Darren, Ange, and Matt. It’s a great company.
What is your role and what do you do?
I look after payroll, budgeting, and invoicing. I’m creating and implementing processes which is one of my favourite things to do.
Why did you choose to work with Applica
For me it’s as much about the people as the role itself. When I saw the job description and saw who I would be working with, it was an easy decision to make.
The job is creative and involves implementing new systems but more than that I know that I can make a difference. The team here is great.
What is the best part of your role
I love the day-to-day role of a management accountant because I have done it for so long, things such as P&L and budgets. I really do enjoy testing and implementing systems because I know it will make other people’s jobs easier. I like going above and beyond, it’s my feel good factor!
What are you most proud of from your time at Applica?
I’ve only been here for a short while but I’m proud to be supporting Ange and the wider team
Please tell me something not many people know about you
I am a twin, I’m the older sister as I’m 5 minutes older! I am the extrovert, and she is a little more introverted. We are both very analytical.
