“I’m always interested in discovering the easiest and most effective way to get things done – whether it’s finding the simplest way to get a process completed, or setting up a job-cost and management accounting system.
My superpower? I love to find ways to solve the unique problems that my customers and clients face. It’s great fun to turn those solutions into resources they can easily understand – and use – to create better, and more profitable companies.”

She has a knack for discovering, and then sharing, new tools and ideas designed to help us deliver consistent and reliable service for our clients.
Laura is an avid reader – and detective novels are a great favorite. She and her husband John enjoy keeping up with their children and grandchildren, who live on opposite sides of the country.
“It’s great fun to work with the Info Plus Consulting team as we continually upgrade our processes to create greater efficiency and enhance our client communications to be even more user-friendly.
My superpower? Creating clean, logical, and effective systems! AND because we want our clients and customers to experience best-in-class service, I never hesitate to contribute my ‘end-user’s perspective.'”
Our office mascot, Jack really likes to dress for success! He shows up in his black and white suit, faithfully, each and every day.
He takes his guardian duties very seriously and keeps the office secure by alerting us to any approaching visitor (human or otherwise)!
Another important duty is to remind us to take periodic breaks from our computers – to tend to each and every one of his clearly communicated desires.
After a long, hard day’s work of securing, reminding, playing, and napping, he’s eager to receive his paycheck (aka doggie trieats).
Then it’s time for a leisurely evening of relaxation – strategically-positioned near his mom (Diane) in one of his numerous comfy doggie beds.
