July 2019
Senior Accountant Belinda Torr is Matthews Steer’s Employee of the Year for 2019, selected by the executive team for her teamwork and values, and her dedication to her role, her clients and her colleagues during the 2018/19 financial year.
Presented at Matthews Steer’s annual Recognise Encourage Reward (RER) Awards on July 26, Employee of the Year is awarded to the team member who best contributes to and shapes the firm’s culture, demonstrates leadership potential, pursues best practice, and excels at relationship building during the financial year.
“Belinda embodies everything we take pride in at Matthews Steer,” said Managing Partner Ken Matthews. “She is a fantastic team leader with an inquisitive mind, and a well-organized and methodical approach to her work. She drives our social club, and lives the values and culture at Matthews Steer.
“We hold Belinda in extremely high regard. Her enthusiasm and dedication belies her age and, as a young professional, she’s has the world at her feet.”
The RER Awards was also an opportunity to celebrate the promotions – on June 28 – of Charith Mandadige and Damian James to partner. Partner, Geoff Steer, said he was delighted to offer his full support for Damian and Charith’s promotions.
“Damian’s contribution to Matthews Steer has been enormous,” said Geoff. “His dedication to maintaining and sharing his technical edge is widely acknowledged through the firm and appreciated by his clients. Throughout his career with Matthews Steer he has brought a practical, no nonsense, perspective to everything he says and does. That perspective is valued throughout the firm and at executive level.
“I have always admired and supported Charith’s dedication to his career and his own personal, and professional, development. In this respect, there is no better role model for the team than Charith. I am constantly impressed by the level of thinking and analysis Charith brings to discussions about our business, and to our executive team.”
“All this year’s RER Award and promotion recipients embody Matthews Steer’s vision, mission, purpose and values,” said Ken. “All have made a significant impact over the past 12 months, and the course of their careers at the firm.
“We are delighted to recognise, encourage and reward them for their exemplary work ethic and cultural contributions.”
