ACCOUNTING CONSULTANT

Helps owners keep their numbers straight and their peace of mind intact

Hi, I’m Jennifer

My first job took place standing on a milk crate, so I could see over the counter at 8 years old. Every Saturday morning you could find me at my family's meat market by 6:30am, doing the math in my head because the numbers didn't come to you automatically back then. You earned them.

Supporting self-made business owners is in my blood. My family owned the meat market I grew up in, and as well as a quarter-mile drag strip that ran for almost 50 years. They were the kind of places that swallow every weekend and asks for the rest of the week too.

There were seven of us kids, and we all found our way to the meat counter, the concession stand, the ticket booth and even the timing tower (with air conditioning) eventually. 

These are the values that have stuck with me throughout my life and career.

They guide how I work, and how I support the owners and teams we serve.

It's why Doescher Group feels less like a new chapter and more like coming home to the same story with a different address.

Handing someone your books is an act of trust, sometimes a nerve-wracking one, especially if your business runs as much on instinct as it does on spreadsheets. I've lived on both sides of that counter. I'm not here to judge the mess. I'm here to help you see it clearly, and make it better.

At Doescher Group, I'm your Accounting Consultant —which, in plain English, means I'm the one who makes sure your numbers are actually accurate.

I prepare your month end accounting and catch the small things before they turn into big problems. Owners don't need more surprises in their financials; they need someone who's already looked, already caught it, and already fixed it.

Our market sat at the crossroads of every kind of person you could imagine, some counting exact change, some not counting at all. I was just a kid ringing up meat, but I was also a kid with my ears wide open, and I heard enough of other people's stories to learn that everyone is carrying something you can't see from across a counter.

I’ve never forgotten the lesson I learned behind that counter: listen first, and treat the person in front of you like they matter, because they do.

Thirty years at Plante Moran gave me a long runway to practice that.

I understand business owners because I was raised by one, twice over, and I know what it costs to build something with your own hands.

When I look at a client's numbers, I look at them the way I'd want my own looked after. And I've never been afraid to say the uncomfortable truth if it means someone stops overpaying, or finally gets the coverage they should have had years ago.

Jennifer’s Facts

  • Jennifer’s mother and grandmother crossed an ocean to get here, refugees from Hungary, and they carried a whole world with them into their kitchen. They spoke two languages under one roof, and everybody had a job in that kitchen too, hands in the dough, stirring the pot, setting the table for whoever showed up that night. Those are the same recipes she still make for her own kids now.

  • Her family ran a quarter-mile drag strip for close to 50 years. She learned to drive on a country road sitting on top of phone books before I could see over the dashboard. Ask any of the seven of kids in her family though, and you'll find not one true car person among them. They were only ever there for what it built, and who it served, not what it ran on.

  • These days it's my own three kids keeping me busy: my oldest works as an investment analyst, my middle works in the trades in commercial HVAC, and my youngest, just committed to play volleyball at Winthrop University in South Carolina, and is thrilled to be a dentist one day.
