Why you would love to work at our company:

“I embarked on my career as a Recovery Officer at Cash Money in February 2021, following my return from maternity leave during the pandemic. I sought a stable position with growth potential and the flexibility to work from home. By July 2021, I was promoted to Recovery Team Lead, where I embraced a leadership and training role within the Recovery Department. In March 2024, I advanced to the position of Quality Assurance Business Analyst, collaborating closely with both the US and Canadian brands. My contributions include developing new procedures, implementing a new call flow, conducting process testing, and performing daily targeted listening tests to ensure adherence to company policies. Additionally, I have enhanced my presentation and facilitation skills and have been given a greater voice among the leadership team. I am enthusiastic about continuing my development and growth with Attain Finance.”

~ Shannon E. - QA Business Analyst, Attain Finance - Canada

“Since joining Cash Money in 2022 as a Recovery Officer, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to grow and expand my skill set. I transitioned into a Team Leader role, where I honed my leadership abilities and was able to guide my team to success. In 2023, I took on a new challenge by joining the Corporate Sales Team, further broadening my expertise, and contributing to Attains growth. Most recently, in December 2024, I was promoted to Strategic Operations Specialist, where I now focus on streamlining processes and driving operational efficiency. My journey here has been a rewarding experience, and I’m excited to continue contributing to the future success of Attain Finance!”
