​

After doing freelance accounting work for business owners over the years she noticed how inadequate and inconsistent many entrepreneurs were with book keeping and finances in general. Most who tried to handle their own finances had no clue what they were doing and many who hired a tax professional, just got tax help, during filing season. They did not have a good financial system and they weren’t taking advantage of many of the tax opportunities available to them. After many years of seeing bad book keeping and giving advice on what to do about saving money on taxes she partnered with two other associates and has helped to build Linden & Lenox. 

​

Linden & Lenox is a firm of financial experts who specialize in helping small businesses develop a financial strategy. Sha-Kerra holds the title of VP of Business Development at Linden & Lenox where her primary role is to educate small business owners on the importance of having a solid strategy linked to adequate financial statements for their business.
