Wendy joined Pomphreys in February 2008 and became Cashier in 2009. I qualified as a Scottish Law Accountant through the Society of Law Accountants in Scotland in 2009. We caught up with Wendy as she progressed to the next level of her development
How did you end up in this role?
I was looking for a new challenge and when Gordon Sommerville’s Executry Paralegal left the firm, I had the opportunity to progress and become an Executry and Trust Paralegal. I am currently studying for this qualification through distance learning with CLT Scotland
What aspects of your job do you find most fulfilling?
Dealing with executry cases means having to be compassionate. I understand how stressful it is for all concerned and aim to do what I can by helping those affected by winding up the estate as efficiently as possible.
Could you describe your day at Pomphreys?
I spend my day communicating with the executors of the estates I’m dealing with and the debtors and creditors of those estates. I also deal with the technical elements of applying for Confirmation using C1 forms and lodging them with the sheriff clerk. I also prepared the cash accounts we provide to clients, showing all the entries in the executry accounts.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Outside of work, I love cooking and spending time with my two boys.
What do you appreciate most about working at Pomphreys?
The partners in the firm are supportive and always try to help the staff to progress. They are also helpful and flexible earound family life.
