Then

Jane’s career began working with the Dave Matthews Band. Within just a few years, the band went from playing in fraternities and small clubs to selling out Giant Stadium and massive amphitheaters. And Jane went from learning the first version of Quicken on a used Mac Plus computer to managing dozens of employees, overseeing a multimillion dollar merchandising powerhouse, and delivering management accounting services to the band and every branch of the organization.

For the 14 years prior to launching Tower Books, Jane was Executive Vice President of a financial services firm, overseeing the client service and operations teams while serving high net worth clients as a Certified Financial Planner.

Now

As a finance and operations professional for more than 20 years, Jane loves to advise and encourage small business owners. Since 2018 she has grown Tower Books with the help of loyal clients and trusted staff. Her curiosity and problem solving skills are key attributes that her clients appreciate and that she believes make her stand out in this industry.

Jane holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia and has held the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation since 2003.

Whether your books are a mess or you just need help keeping them accurate and up to date, Jane and the Tower Books team can step in and deliver just what you need now.
