Read on to learn more about Jennifer: 

What’s your favorite part of your job?

Putting financial statements together, sometimes it can be like a puzzle that you have to solve.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Spending time with my pups, watching Braves baseball, and going to concerts.

What advice would you give someone just starting their career in your field?

Don’t let the frustration of not knowing what you’re doing keep you from continuing on. None of us knew what we were doing in the beginning. It can be hard, but it’s well worth it when something finally clicks and you understand why you were doing the steps and testing to begin with.

      

Which of your professional accomplishments are you most proud of?

Passing the CPA exam and becoming a CPA. Those exams are tough, and I did the studying on my own with just a textbook, no classes or master’s program. I’m so proud of passing those exams.

 

Describe your ideal weekend.

Laying on the couch with my husband and my pups watching FRIENDS!
