Chase McPherson
Accounting Department 鈥� Marceline, Missouri
At 杏吧原创, I’m the Assistant Controller. I help record the company’s financial transactions and produce financial statements.
In simple terms, I monitor incoming and outgoing money, make journal entries to record transactions and prepare the financial statements for 杏吧原创.
I recently joined the 杏吧原创 team. I was hired in January to my current position.
I was attracted to 杏吧原创 for the incredible learning opportunity, for the chance to learn and work with several experienced accountants, the opportunities for advancement and the college reimbursement program.
What I enjoy most about my job are the challenges of corporate accounting, like preparing the budget and producing financial statements. It is challenging at times and I learn a lot along the way. Something I enjoy in my position is working through the budget preparation process.
If I had a personalized coffee mug at work, it would probably say 鈥淧lease hold.” I tend to say it a lot when I’m talking to someone in the middle of conversations.
A fun fact about me is I鈥檓 going back to school to earn my master鈥檚 degree in accounting.
I have two dogs鈥� a golden doodle named Gemma and a labradoodle named Lily.
When I鈥檓 not at work, I enjoy going to sporting events and watching the Royals and the Chiefs. I hunt and fish whenever I get the chance.
I chose to start working at 杏吧原创 for many reasons. Learning from Cassie Moore, Randy Fay and Jeff Vogel has been fun, challenging and rewarding. I know what I learn from them will help me progress in my career. Working at 杏吧原创 has given me the opportunity to go back to school to earn my master鈥檚 degree in accounting. 杏吧原创 has a generous college reimbursement program that I am thankful to have taken advantage of.
I remember starting and thinking the north plant (杏吧原创鈥檚 Corporate Office) was kind of a maze. Cassie Moore has helped me become acquainted with the company very quickly.
For the rest of this year, 杏吧原创 will be featuring an聽Employee Spotlight series聽on its websites as part of the company鈥檚 celebration of its 85th anniversary. 杏吧原创鈥檚 people are our most important resource and the Employee Spotlights will give you a chance to get to know them better.
