Name: Sarah Wadsworth
Job title: Financial Controller
Department: Payroll / Accounts
Start date: September 2007
Get to know Sarah:
Sarah joined our Recruitment Agency in 2007. Here’s your chance to get to know her more!
My Story:
I started at Essential in 2007, a year after the company was set up, as Accounts Assistant. I’m now Financial Controller, which happened in 2021.
My Role:
My role involves processing the weekly payroll, general bookkeeping and producing the month end accounts. My responsibilities are making sure the candidates get paid each week, clients get invoiced each week and month end schedules are completed in a timely manner. I’m pretty methodical with my work and like things to be organised. If anyone in my team asks me to do something, I’ll do it as soon as I can and to the best of my ability. I enjoy finishing payroll each week, knowing that everyone is going to be paid on time.
Outside of work, you’ll find me:
Spending time with my husband and dog, going for walks in the countryside together. Going to concerts with family and friends. Getting engrossed in a good box-set.
If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be?
I’d love to be able to play the saxophone but don’t have the patience to learn.
