Speaker and Presenter Information

Patty Lawrence, CMA, of TurboExecs works with results-oriented small and medium business owners who are struggling with chaos, such as out-of-control growth, sudden terrifying decline in revenues or profits, or people problems that are having a negative impact on the business.

She reveals the “story behind the numbers” with financial tools and systems that quickly skyrocket productivity and remove barriers to growth and profitability. As a result, her clients typically increase the bottom line by at least 15% and feel in control of their finances and results.

Patty got her first taste of entrepreneurial life in the office of her father’s well drilling business in her teens. With her first accounting class in high school, she’d found the professional outlet for her problem-solving skills.

In her free time, Patty enjoys playing competitive tennis. Her husband and two sons hope she’ll renew her old passion for baking again soon.
