Lauren Schodowski
Accounting Manager
I'm committed to helping businesses build confidence in their financial operations through thoughtful accounting, strong processes, and dependable reporting. My experience across nonprofit organizations, healthcare technology, and global professional services has given me the opportunity to support businesses through a wide range of financial challenges.
As Accounting Manager at NAVIGATE, I work closely with our clients to maintain accurate financial records, strengthen internal controls, and provide meaningful financial insight that supports smarter business decisions. I believe even the smallest details can make a meaningful difference in helping organizations grow.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Missouri, graduating Magna Cum Laude, and am a Certified Public Accountant.
Outside of NAVIGATE, I serve on the University of Missouri Management Department Advisory Board and volunteer with United Way's Accounting Committee. My favorite time is spent with my husband and our daughter, Zoe, whether we're exploring Jacksonville, visiting the beach or zoo, baking together or discovering a new local restaurant.
