Erin has worked with CEOs, Founders, VPs, multi-million-dollar companies, and mom-and-pop shops all across the country. Her dream when she built Bear Financial was to be able to provide a healthy work environment for staff, with an unmatched excellence for clients. 

Erin knew from a young age that she wanted to be in finance. She never wavered from that passion, declaring her major 6 years before first day of college. She graduated with a BA in Accounting and holds a graduate certificate in Criminal Justice. Erin then spent over 10 years working in corporate and public accounting firms. But seeing how burnt-out both her clients and colleagues were, Erin decided to create her own, unique bookkeeping firm focused on the specific back-office needs of growing businesses. She's a mom to three girls (including twin toddlers) so her organization and preparation skills are unmatched.

Erin believes that everyone deserves a personal relationship with their finance professionals. She goes above and beyond to ensure every client feels safe, fully supported, and ready to tackle and accomplish every financial goal.

When she's not working with clients, you can find her with her husbandchasing those three girls around!

"My favorite thing about Bear is how we lead with compassion and empathy, and seek to truly serve those who have put their trust in us."

As a business owner herself, Lauren knows the importance of financial literacy. She and her husband own a company together that serves the gaming community. Before they started on this entrepreneurial path, Lauren had a long history of upper management positions.

After her youngest was born, Lauren decided to become a stay-at-home mom because childcare was so expensive. But she wanted to do something more with her life. Something that would allow her the flexibility of being a mother and let her pursue her passions at the same time. Lauren went back to college to get a degree in Accounting, working at night after the kids went to bed. In 2020, Erin approached Lauren about getting a part-time job at Bear Financial. That quickly turned into a full-time position, and she never looked back.

Being on both sides of the table, Lauren uses her personal experience to guide her clients in all of their business ventures. She knows their fears intimately and understands the ups-and-downs of entrepreneurship. There’s nothing she hasn’t seen or faced herself. She takes all of her personal knowledge, as well as every bit of training over the last decade plus, and utilizes it to ensure success for every single one of her clients.

"My favorite thing about Bear is the environment we provide to all of our clients. It’s a safe space, where no one has to be embarrassed or worried about any aspect of money. It’s the perfect home for any business, entrepreneur, or accountant."
