How T&D Machine Built a Winning Edge with Remote Talent

As a family business, T&D Machine is committed to providing only the highest quality of products to their customers, as well as top-notch customer service and prompt deliveries.

This commitment, however, was put to the test when the company needed to manage rising overhead costs.

The Challenge:

Juggling tasks while managing overhead costs 

Cooper Johnson, the company’s owner, ensures precise and efficient operations — a crucial factor in running a manufacturing business. But when the company needed to reduce its headcount, Cooper found himself taking on additional responsibilities like invoicing and payroll.

"I became over-burdened with administrative tasks," shares Cooper.

‍

On top of this, T&D Machine also encountered the following challenges:

• No time for operational improvements - With additional admin tasks on his plate, Cooper struggled to make time for operational improvements. He needed to hand off payroll and invoicing tasks to an experienced accountant so that he could dedicate time for growth.

• Managing overhead - They needed a cost-efficient, remote-first solution that would not strain their overhead budget.

• Inefficient local hiring -. Between doing admin tasks and running his business, Cooper had little spare time for candidate screening. They needed a fast and easy hiring solution that guaranteed high-quality candidates.

The Solution:
Reliable, cost-efficient hiring through Somewhere

Hiring remotely was the most viable solution to T&D Machine’s challenges, so they turned to Somewhere for help.

Our remote staffing service quickly launched a search for an experienced accountant to help ease the administrative burden on T&D’s team.
