At Apex Facility Resources, we believe in celebrating not just the professional accomplishments of our team but also the unique personalities that drive our success. Our Employee Spotlight offers a glimpse into the lives of our exceptional team members, each of whom is dedicated to creating innovative and efficient workplace solutions for our clients.
In this Employee Spotlight, we’re pleased to introduce Lindsey Mann, Controller. Let's dive into what makes her passionate both in and out of the workplace.
What keeps you passionate outside of work?
Spending time with my husband and fur babies. Being by and on the water – kayaking, taking walks by the Puget Sound or a lake. Reading. Writing. Knitting.
What problems do you solve for clients in your role?
In my role as Controller, my main “clients” are the company ownership team and internal team members. I help solve financial discrepancies, how the company and departments can maximize their budgets, how to interpret and understand financial statements & reporting so they can make informed financial decisions in a timely manner, how to move through times of tight cashflow, how to maximize profits, etc.
What’s your favorite aspect of your role at Apex?
Being able to provide consistent, reliable, accurate information and impeccable support to enhance the overall health of the business.
How do you keep a healthy work/life balance?
I’ve learned to set, communicate, and honor healthy boundaries when it comes to time as well as checking and responding to emails. I’ve found that not checking emails on my phone in frequent intervals during the evenings and weekends has helped tremendously with creating a healthy work/life balance.
If you could choose anyone, who would you pick as your mentor?
Mel Robbins.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
No one’s coming. No one. It’s up to you. You’re always going to need to push yourself. You’re always going to need to parent yourself. It’s your job to make yourself do the crap you don’t want to do to have consistently aligned action propelling you toward the life you want.
What’s your favorite restaurant in Seattle?
El Gaucho.
What keeps you engaged outside of work?
Being physically active and nourishing my mind, body, and soul. Learning more about human psychology and gaining greater understanding of the human condition.
Tell us something that might surprise us about you.
I love hip-hop, rap, R&B music.
Which part of our company DNA speaks the most to you and why?
Curious & Continuous Learner because I am driven to understand the “what”, “how”, and “why” of things. I am internally motivated to evolve and grow. Change is constant and staying open and curious helps me navigate through change and apply what I’m learning. I enjoy adding knowledge to my proverbial toolbox to draw upon in various situations that arise.
