Who we are: JoAnn

JoAnn Kearns has been a small business accountant since 1992 and is a perpetual PTA and civic organization treasurer. Somehow, she manages to handle payrolls, accounts payable, and accounts receivable for up to fifteen organizations at once.

JoAnn earned a BA in Psychology at Agnes Scott College and immediately joined what is now Equifax as a market researcher.

JoAnn honed her accounting skills while pursuing an MBA at Georgia State University by working part-time as a teller at C&S Bank, now Bank of America. JoAnn quickly earned a management job. She worked in cost analysis, time management analysis and became a management information officer.

JoAnn chose family over a banking career and MBA. She became very active in school and civic organizations ultimately becoming PTA president for two different schools and serving as co-president of the Morningside / Lenox Park Neighborhood Association in northeast Atlanta.

JoAnn's service as PTA treasurer returned her to the world of accounting and ultimately to the business world.
