We’ve Added a New Member to the Team!
Back in October 2020, we welcomed a new face to the Capital Advisory Group team: Susan! She joined us as our QuickBooks and bookkeeping specialist on a temporary basis. Then, in January, Susan joined the team full time! This month, we want to help you get better acquainted with the newest member of our team. Susan is here to help our clients with just about all of their bookkeeping needs, including payroll. She operates in QuickBooks and helps clients reconcile their own books within QuickBooks. So, if you have any questions or concerns related to your books, Susan is your go-to! Susan joined us after working with a firm that had, unfortunately, seen a downturn in businesses. Things got slow — a situation not uncommon for businesses in 2020. When she joined us, she said she was shocked at how busy things were! “It was like jumping from ice into the fire!” she says. It was a great change of pace, but more than that, it was a great change of environment — and much needed as Susan says. “There’s no micromanagement, and Jeff is an awesome boss! He gives you a little direction and lets you do your thing."
“I’ve been in bookkeeping for a long time. I have experience and it’s good to be in a place where you’re trusted to do your job,” Susan says. It’s something we’ve all gone through at least once in our careers. Susan continues, “The atmosphere here is just so positive. Everyone is cheerful, and it’s been a joy to work here!”
Outside of the office, Susan and her husband spend a lot of time on the back of their hog — that is to say, their motorcycle! They’ve been motorcycle people for years — Susan’s wedding ring is even a Harley- Davidson ring! Of course, they’re also big family people. Between the two of them, they have six full-grown kids, each with a spouse or significant other. They even have three grandkids (though, as Susan jokes, they should have more given how many kids they have!). With a big backyard, they take every opportunity to host family gatherings as they sit around the fire pit and just have a good time.
