Graduating from Michigan State University in 1996 with a Bachelors degree in Accounting, she started working immediately for a local firm. From the beginning of her career, she has focused on working closely with small business owners, helping them grow and profitably operate their businesses. She started her own firm in 2003 with just two clients, and grew that portfolio steadily over ten years, until October 2013 when she merged her firm into Simplified and became the manager of the DeWitt office. Julie specializes in supporting business owners with both their accounting and tax needs.
