Jackie Sweeten
Jackie has been with the firm since 2003.  Not only is she the Office Manager of the CPA office, but she also is generally in charge of making everyone happy. She worked for 12 years in San Antonio and Houston at various firms in the legal department as a Paralegal/Legal Assistant.  With a long history of excellence in administration, she has added to her skills a knowledge of QuickBooks, ProSeries tax software, human resources procedures, online registration and filings for quarterly payroll, besides the fact that she can find absolutely anything on the internet! From bookkeeping to customer and vendor relations, she is the glue that holds us together!

Meredith Schrup
Meredith is a QuickBooks specialist, whose work experience has been wide and varied. She began working with the QuickBooks software about seven years ago, and though she is basically self-taught (how many of our clients can relate to that!), she has added formal instruction in the software to her own base of knowledge, and now is an expert in resolving QuickBooks issues. She has worked with Michele since 2003, and in that time has designed detailed job costing systems, converted payroll systems, reconciled QuickBooks POS to its QuickBooks retail companion, mastered QuickBooks for Mac and became proficient at ProSeries tax software.  She is a ready and able consultant, whom we are grateful to include on our team!

Melissa has been our Accounting Assistant since 2005.  She graduated with a BBA in Accounting and Management from Texas State University, and has worked as an accountant and accounting manager at the Railroad Commission of Texas, St. David’s Health Care System, and Therapeutic Family Life.  She avails the strategies of large accounting departments and expert knowledge of QuickBooks to benefit our small business clients.
