Lauren is a woman who has learned through experience, faith, and perseverance that every season of life teaches a lesson, and those lessons are meant to be shared.
She began her career in Accounting and Finance, steadily climbing the corporate ladder finding herself in C-Suite positions, while constantly gaining several educational accolades and building a reputation for excellence, integrity, and dependability. Over more than a decade, Lauren worked across Human Resources, Finance , Accounting and Tax departments creating solutions to complex organizational problems and processes, seeing first hand how businesses truly operate both on paper and behind the scenes. In these roles, Lauren became known for her insight, critical thinking and calm, straight to the point approach helping others navigate pressure and uncertainty.
When a sudden layoff changed her trajectory in 2017, Lauren founded Gold Standard Advisors. She quickly learned in 2022 that just being an Accounting and Finance Advisory firm was too small of a box to be put in. After a few years Clarity and Ledger was born, taking her experience to build a business rooted not only in skill, but in purpose.
Since then, she has become the trusted “go-to” resource for entrepreneurs, and professionals nationwide. Whether they need help starting a business, making a strategic move, or seeking honest, grounded advice.
Today, Lauren is deeply committed to helping people turn ideas into reality! Whether they are climbing the corporate ladder, launching a business, managing taxes, or simply trying to figure out their next best step. Those who work with Lauren quickly discover that she doesn’t just talk about success she understands the process behind it, and she is passionate about helping others navigate their own journey with confidence and purpose.
