Jill Wiechert
Assistant Controller
I am the Assistant Controller of the Green Drop group of companies, including Green Drop Lawns, Green Drop Trees and Buzz Boss. I began my career at Green Drop Lawns in a data entry position. I pursued an Accounting Certificate at Bow Valley College and began working in the accounting department.
The constant hustle and bustle of collecting data, organizing and processing it and providing our business unit leaders accurate financial statements keeps me very busy. I have seen the company grow from five lawn care locations to seven Green Drop Lawns, six Buzz Boss centres and four Green Drop Tree centres of operation. I am proud to say I’ve initiated several changes that have increased efficiency, such as taking customer payments digitally, converting our payables to issuing eft payments, and reorganizing the accounting departments software and coding.
I oversee the payroll of the entire corporation and am responsible for keeping us compliant on remitting taxes (payroll and sales taxes).
Green Drop is a family run business, and that shows in their relationship with their employees. Many of the upper management have been at Green Drop for many decades, and most, if not all, have started at the bottom and worked their way up to their current positions. The loyalty and growth opportunities are impressive.
In my free time, I sing barbershop a cappella in two choruses and a quartet. I am the servant of a cat named Caity.
