Who are you?
Hello! I’m Sheila, or you can call me Shu.
What does your role at Clear Books entail?
I’m a graphic designer, so most of the time I’m making our publications, marketing website and application look consistent with the Clear Books’ brand using typography and by drawing illustrations.
I’m also a scrum master for one of our work cells where I facilitate the running of some projects.
In your opinion, what is the best time-saving Clear Books feature?
Our 3 main applications – Accounting, HR and Payroll – are all integrated and accessible from one single login page. This can be a real time saver for customers as information is shared between each app. Us Clear Books employees get to use the software internally, so I book days off, get paid and submit expenses all from one Clear Books login.
What’s the most exciting thing your team are working on at the moment?
The UX improvements that we are working on is the most exciting for me. We are currently working on making the application as easy to use as possible by revising the ideal user workflows. It’s always very rewarding to know what you are working on will improve customers experience with Clear Books.
What apps and tools can’t you live without and why?
I use the project management tool Atlassian Jira everyday and I’m finding it an excellent tool for planning and keeping track of the team’s tasks. There is a lot to oversee as a scrum master so using Jira is a very organised way to keep on top of everybody’s varied schedules and tasks.
When you’re not working at Clear Books, what do you enjoy doing?
You’ll find me in the garden tending to the flower beds and vegetable patches accompanied by my cat Custard when I’m not at working in the office – especially now that it’s summer and the sun is shining!
