Chase McPherson
Accounting Department – Marceline, Missouri
At É«¿Ø´«Ã½, 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 É«¿Ø´«Ã½.
I recently joined the É«¿Ø´«Ã½ team. I was hired in January to my current position.
I was attracted to É«¿Ø´«Ã½ 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 “Please 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’m going back to school to earn my master’s degree in accounting.
I have two dogs— a golden doodle named Gemma and a labradoodle named Lily.
When I’m 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 É«¿Ø´«Ã½ 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 É«¿Ø´«Ã½ has given me the opportunity to go back to school to earn my master’s degree in accounting. É«¿Ø´«Ã½ has a generous college reimbursement program that I am thankful to have taken advantage of.
I remember starting and thinking the north plant (É«¿Ø´«Ã½â€™s 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, É«¿Ø´«Ã½ will be featuring an Employee Spotlight series on its websites as part of the company’s celebration of its 85th anniversary. É«¿Ø´«Ã½â€™s people are our most important resource and the Employee Spotlights will give you a chance to get to know them better.
