Susan began her career as an internal auditor with Bank One Corporation, now JPMorgan Chase, where she performed operational, financial, regulatory compliance and information technology audits. As an auditor and audit supervisor, she performed in-depth risk analyses, developed strategies to evaluate procedural and systematic controls and recommended cost-effective and creative solutions to senior management.
In early 2002, Susan received her CPA test results (all four parts passed on the first try) and decided to start her career in public accounting with a local accounting firm in Denton, Texas. Susan worked in all aspects of serving the firm’s business and high-net worth clients.
