Over the past 19 years, Lauren has discovered her true passion is helping share her knowledge of accounting and auditing with the not-for-profit community. She is always looking for ways to help her clients spread their mission while ensuring their financial future is secure. Lauren’s focus doesn’t end at simply the financial services she provides, she also believes strongly in giving back in other ways.
At HFA, Lauren leads the volunteer and community service program called HFA Cares. Throughout the year, HFA sponsors several events where employees are empowered to give back to the community. “I plan a variety of events ranging from on-site volunteer service to collection and donation drives,” stated Holman. Lauren feels strongly that service at its greatest moment is when the reward is beyond measure.
