Angela Lyons

Controller

My personal motto is, “Don’t complain if you are not willing to be part of the solution.” I live by that motto and it’s what guided me to begin volunteering with organizations at my children’s schools. Those early years of PTA involvement developed into a broader passion for the education field, volunteering with nonprofit organizations that work to ensure we are doing our best for our children, who are our future.

While my role at Convergent is more “behind the scenes,” I find it very rewarding to know that the work I do supports our team so they can focus on helping organizations get to a place financially where they can make operational decisions based purely on the betterment of their mission.

 

Angela has 25+ years of accounting related experience and worked for a certified public accounting firm for over 12 years, primarily in assurance services (audits) for a variety of industries including Banking, Construction, Hospitals, Animal, Agriculture, and Employee Benefit Plans (ERISA). Her ability to understand the unique needs of such a wide variety of industries was a perfect fit for Convergent.

Additionally, she received her B.S. in Accounting from the University of Central Arkansas and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as well as the Arkansas and Massachusetts Societies of Public Accountants. Angela’s breadth of knowledge, experience, and strong professional associations ensures that as we continue to grow and new needs arise, Convergent will be able to continue to seamlessly deliver high-quality service to all of our clients.
