Deb Martin

Staff Accountant
Meet Deb, one of our uber-talented and hyper-organized staff accountants. There's never been a question about Microsoft Excel that she couldn't answer, nor a project she couldn't finish. She'd probably be a pretty good bounty hunter considering her track record on getting people to straighten out their payables!

Looking for her dream job, Deb happened upon a spot at Smart Furniture and thought to herself, "I remember reading the job description of the posting for my position and thinking it sounded like my dream job. And, what do you know? It fit me perfectly! I enjoy getting to learn how to do everything. In accounting, you normally get put into a box and get stuck in just one area. However, joining the Smart Furniture team, I got to learn about all aspects of accounting, and have even worked on operations, web, and marketing projects. I am a sponge and love to learn, and Smart Furniture has provided a great environment for that."

Here are some other fun tidbits about Deb:
Favorite Quote?
"There's something I want you to know," said Cherryl, her voice taut and harsh, "so that there won't be any pretending about it. I'm not going to put on the sweet relative act. I know what you've done to Jim and how you've made him miserable all his life. I'm going to protect him against you. I'll put you in your place. I'm Mrs. Taggart. I'm the woman in this family now."

"That's quite all right," said Dagny. "I'm the man." -- Atlas Shrugged

If you could converse with any historical figure, who would it be and why?
"Ayn Rand. She's brilliant, and I'd love to hear her take on what is currently going on in our country."

Something about you that not a lot of people know about?
"I think cheesecake is gross."

What would your first college roommate say about you?
"She's weird."

Interesting/creative experiences helping a customer?
"Pretty much the only customer contact I get is when I'm trying to collect money, but I have found that I am always pleasantly surprised at how helpful our customers are in this regard. They generally want to do the right thing, and I love that."
