Please join us in congratulating two outstanding leaders on well-deserved promotions.

Jennifer Sanford has been promoted to Director of Client Success & Operations, and Jamie Starr has been promoted to Payroll Team Lead.

Both have consistently demonstrated exceptional dedication to our clients, our team, and our mission. Their leadership, their commitment to getting the details right, and their willingness to go the extra mile have made a lasting impact across the firm.

Jennifer Sanford — Director of Client Success & Operations

In this role, Jennifer takes ownership of the client experience end to end: how quickly we respond, how clearly we communicate, and how smoothly the work moves between our payroll, bookkeeping, and advisory teams. If you are a client of ours, the quality of that experience is largely what Jennifer now spends her days on.

Jamie Starr — Payroll Team Lead

Jamie now leads our payroll desk. That means quality control across every payroll we process — the filings, the deadlines, and the multi-state details that catch growing businesses off guard. Payroll is unforgiving work: it is either right and on time, or it is a problem. Jamie is the reason it is the former.

Why we promote from within

We would rather promote than post a job listing. Both Jennifer and Jamie already know our clients, our systems, and our standards — and that is the part you cannot hire for.

As our CEO George Wilson put it: “I’m unbelievably proud of you both, and thankful every day that I have the privilege of working with you.”

As we continue to grow across all 50 states, we are glad to have them leading the next chapter — strengthening the experience we provide every client, and supporting the team behind that success.

Congratulations, Jennifer and Jamie. Thank you for everything you have done to help make Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping what it is today.
