Lisa Murray, Client Services Director
Construction Payroll Specialist
Lisa joined Carpenter & Company in 2009 and has worked with several contractors over the years. While being responsible for overall client services, Lisa's specialty is in construction payroll services. Lisa is our guru with construction certified payrolls, job costing labor and workers compensation reporting and audits.
Amanda Denton, Construction lead Accountant
Amanda is our lead construction accountant, specializing in payment applications and receivables, including proper retainage receivable classification. She's also our go-to person for construction estimate accounting and change orders, as well as full-charge general ledger systems. Amanda started with us in 2014 and is currently working towards her CPA certification.
Erin Menzel, Contractor Accountant
Erin joined us in 2017 and quickly became a specialist in construction back-end systems and workflow. She specializes in particular on the payments and accounts payable side, making sure costs are properly allocated to jobs and payables are maintained for proper cash flow planning.
Josh Menzel, Construction IT Director
Josh started with Carpenter & Company in 2020 and has been instrumental in further development and streamlining of construction back-office workflows. Josh not only helps develop custom back-office systems, but is instrumental in ensuring transaction processing systems are maintained to ensure that we always provide timely reporting to our clients that we are so privileged to serve.
Bryana Owens, Communications Director
Bryana also joined us in 2020 to further enhance communication and document control. She understands that contractors don't want to spend a lot of time trading documents with a remote accountant, so she streamlines that process and prevents our clients from working all day in the field only to come home and do paperwork at night. She also knows that successful contractor implementation requires clear lines of communication and she coordinates that flow so that we maintain maximum efficiency.
