Kristy Hawn, staff member of the month started with the LEM Business Solutions team in 2021. Kristy’s role as an Accounting Associate has her doing a variety of tasks to serve her clients including reviewing accounts quarterly and yearly, processing payroll, reconciliations, filing sales taxes, bill payments, and helping other team members with account questions.
A little bit about Kristy:
Kristy graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and an emphasis in Finance. She is currently working to achieve her Master’s degree in Accounting through WGU. Kristy lives in St. Charles County with her husband, 4 kids, 7 cats, and 3 dogs. In her down time, she enjoys watching her boys play soccer, and her girls Irish dance.
Her most recent LEM accomplishment:
Kristy deserves staff member of the month because she is an excellent team player. She always comes to the table with readiness to adapt and willingness to do whatever is needed to help out. Her ability to troubleshoot and problem solve has been greatly valuable to LEM and her team members.
Who she serves at LEM:
Kristy serves the needs of a wide array of clients including restaurants, doctors offices, logistics companies, dog grooming service providers, home healthcare providers, magazine, and clothing retailers. Kristy loves to make personal connections with the clients. Many of them are parents, she says, so they frequently chat together and ask how each other’s kids are doing. She loves to know that she is not just working on some account, but gets to know the person behind the numbers.
What she loves about LEM:
Kristy not only enjoys serving her clients but also loves her workplace environment. Being in an all female workplace, you would expect drama, but that isn’t the case at all at LEM. Laura, the founder and president, has created a wonderful team atmosphere, where it feels like you’re around your best girlfriends versus your coworkers. Somedays the workday can be long crunching numbers, but being around everyone and working together helps make the day go by fast.
