Sheila plays a major part in Gardner’s ability to operate smoothly. After attending college and working as an executive secretary in Arizona, Sheila joined GRC in 1999. Responsible for attending to all vendor relations, maintaining databases, establishing written policies, and assisting the CEO and every other individual in the office, Sheila also manages the human resources activities and benefit administration including 401K, health, LTD, STD, life, employee handbook, background screenings, contractor on-boarding/off boarding and customer service. As the office manager, Sheila is responsible for the day-to-day activities of our busy office – which is a daily challenge.

Jen, our dependable and skilled Director of Finance and Operations, joined our team in the fall of 2007. After obtaining her BSBA in accounting at Suffolk University and her master’s at Northeastern, Jen jumped into the financial industry. She quickly moved up and took on her roles as senior staff accountant and unit manager before finally settling down managing all of Gardner’s general ledgers including payroll, billing, accounts receivable, cash, collections, purchasing, and payables. Her daily tasks aren’t limited to preparing tax forms, managing payroll or punching numbers into a calculator – she also takes on the responsibilities of overseeing the company’s compliance with regulations, particularly those in the human resource area. Jen is an asset that the GRC team truly appreciates.
