In the modern accountant’s world, a vast expanse separates the secretary and administrative professional. Entrusted with the final processing of tax returns and financial reports, the administrative accounting professional must be familiar with all aspects of the CPA firm. And to sum up how the accounting machine runs without the administrator’s discerning oversight of the dashboard, it doesn’t.

 

Stephanie Lacombe made this clear to us when she quit L&A to attend to her growing family needs in late 2005. After all of us willingly reduced our salaries to minimum wage to afford her return two months later, the firm began to operate smoothly once more under her leadership at the helm of the office. Nobody in this firm, including Chief, exhibits as broad a range in daily tasks and corresponding high achievement as Stephanie.

 

Stephanie graduated with a BS in Marketing from Louisiana Tech University and worked in her field for 16 years before joining L&A in 2004. Her experience includes the fields of law, law enforcement, hotel / motel industry, international sales, publishing, web design, photo editing, et al. A copy of her full 19 lb. resume can be obtained by contacting the Library of Congress. 

Stephanie is married to a large, mean, hairy Italian named Lance. Together, they love to not go out and spend money. Their two kids, Nathan and Justin, are Stephanie’s main preoccupation and joy next to sewing, reading crime-related news, and listening to dry talk radio. Despite her aversion to spending, she maintains her attractive, twenty-something physique with the extensive plastic surgery she can now afford on her half-a-million salary. Hey, we’re not complaining on a number of levels.
