Jocelyn is an up-and-coming leader who believes in coaching and inspiring others to greatness. She chose the accounting profession because it allows her to take a holistic approach to helping clients and their organizations while, in turn, making them feel that they are part of a bigger team accomplishing more together. She loves the sense of community in the accounting industry and being able to work with other professionals to provide our clients with the best service.
As a partner in our Assurance & Advisory department, Jocelyn assists privately held businesses with audit, internal controls, and implementing new systems, including workflow, user access, and gaps in internal controls. Because accounting regulations change rapidly, and the software that supports those guidelines rolls out at breakneck speed, Jocelyn’s dual degrees in accounting and information systems & decision science serve any company with challenges keeping current with both.
Jocelyn is also a “professor” at LSL, serving on her department’s committee to research, train, and implement new accounting standards. Most prevalent today has been the implementation of ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) Topic 842 for Leases, which was issued by FASB to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. She exudes passion and high energy in both her personal and professional life, thriving on meaningful interactions and fostering relationships with individuals across all levels, including both her employees and clients.
