Accounting Simplified NC was born as we observed many small business owners in our community struggling to find quality accounting resources. Accurate financial records are invaluable to small businesses, but can often be difficult to achieve without a business background or an unreasonable budget. That’s where we come in.
Lauren
Lauren grew up in New Providence, New Jersey and migrated South after graduation to attend college at Wake Forest University (Go Deacs!), earning a Bachelors in Finance and a Masters in Accountancy. She moved to Charlotte after graduation and immediately started her career with PwC. She later joined the Corporate Accounting group at Speedway Motorsports where she worked for 9 wonderful years. After living the full time stay at home mom life for 6 months, she started Accounting Simplified in March 2021. It has been one of her greatest joys to grow this business and meet so many amazing small business owners in the process.
Lauren lives in Charlotte with her husband, Justin, two young daughters, Sydney and Hazel, and crazy dog, Bear. Chances are, if you work with us, you will hear one of them in the background at some point during a call or meeting. In her free time (HA what is free time?) Lauren enjoys reading completely ridiculous fantasy novels, is an avid peloton user and volunteers at her kids’ schools. Her most favorite thing in the world is enjoying a glass of unoaked Chardonnay on the shore of a small lake in the Catskills.
Jenny
Jenny grew up in Atlanta, graduated from LSU with her Bachelors of Accounting, and then moved to Charlotte to obtain her Masters of Accountancy at UNCC. She spent 10 years in the workforce at PwC and Wells Fargo before deciding to stay home with her kids in Fall 2020. She joined forces with Lauren at Accounting Simplified in Spring 2022 and has truly enjoyed having the opportunity to help small business owners with their bookkeeping needs.
Jenny and her husband Robert live in Charlotte and have three young kids, Lily, Walker and Forrest, and a black German Shepherd mix, Cooper. In her free time, Jenny enjoys reading, volunteering at her kids' elementary school, and catching up with friends on the patio at Foxcroft Wine
