At CluneTech, we have an extensive Milestone Recognition Program that rewards employees that choose to build along and successful career with us. As part of this programme, we love celebrating and sharing the stories of those reaching major milestones with the company.
This month we caught up with TransferMate's Linda Maher, Financial Assistant, who has been on our team for the last 10 years.
What is your favorite thing about working in CluneTech / TransferMate?
My favourite thing about working in CluneTech is the ability to work from home. It provides me with such a great work life balance, and less stress commuting to work. Having said that, I also love going into the office on Wednesdays to see people and catch up in the office with everyone.
What has been your biggest achievement or highlight since joining CluneTech / TransferMate?
My biggest highlight since joining would be winning Employee of the Quarter in 2016.
What is the biggest change that you have witnessed in your time here?
The growth of the company has been the biggest change I have witnessed since I joined the group. The number of entities we now produce accounts for has grown significantly over the years. You only need to look and see how big the finance team has grown to facilitate all the reporting requirements and deadlines we have. The team is three to four times bigger now than when I started in the company.
What is the greatest challenge that you have faced in your time here and how did you overcome it?
My greatest challenge faced was back in 2016 when I was called up last minute to help process payroll for the Group. I think there was nine or ten entities at the time to be processed. I had never processed payroll before so it was a huge challenge, but I must have done a good job as I’ve been involved with payroll ever since! I definitely wouldn’t have been as successful if it wasn’t for the senior accountants across the group at that time. Everyone helped out and we got everyone paid correct and on time.
What has been your favourite project to work on?
I was involved in bringing the sales commissions calculations away from excel and into Salesforce. It was great to work with the Salesforce team and see how the reports would be produced and do something different to month end accounts. I’m currently helping on something similar with Power BI which I am really enjoying.
Do you have advice for someone who is just starting their career in CluneTech / TransferMate?
There is no such thing as a ‘stupid question’ so don’t be afraid to ask – by asking questions you are gaining knowledge, and ‘knowledge is power’.
