The People Behind Your Books
Owner
Stephanie Woolley
Stephanie Woolley is the owner of MSW Accounting, and she’s not your average bookkeeper. She’s an accountant with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, earned with honors on an academic scholarship, and more than 20 years of hands-on experience.
Her background covers just about every corner of the field. She spent 5 years at a CPA firm handling bookkeeping, taxes, payroll, and independent audits. She prepared financial statements for a large publicly traded company and spent 8 years at one of the largest payroll processors in the country, where she worked alongside attorneys to resolve wage garnishments in all 50 states. She’s also served as a controller twice and managed HR for companies with as many as 150 employees.
Today she brings that same big company standard to every small business she works with. She’s also QuickBooks Online Level 2 and QuickBooks Payroll certified, but it’s her real world experience that her clients count on.
When she’s not working, you’ll find her with her 3 Yorkies, Hamish, Midge, and Lola, usually in something vintage.
Business Strategy & Client Experience
Mark Woolley
Mark Woolley is Stephanie’s husband, and when she started MSW Accounting, he jumped right in. He says it’s because he loves supporting strong, empowered women. Stephanie suspects he just wanted more time with her.
Mark’s career has always been about people. He started out in California as a teacher and worked in youth programs, including special education for kids with autism. He then supported the business sales team at one of the largest wireless carriers in the country, onboarding major clients on site, including FBI offices and military bases. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and an MBA.
At MSW, Mark focuses on business strategy, client experience, and consistent processes. Accounting confuses him, which is exactly why he loves that the team explains high level work in a way anyone can understand.
Off the clock, he’s the proud “fun-cle” to his nieces and loves dogs, possibly more than Stephanie.
Operations & Marketing
Christy Hobby
Christy Hobby helps keep MSW Accounting running smoothly behind the scenes. She and Stephanie worked together years ago at a digital marketing firm, so when Stephanie needed help growing MSW Accounting, Christy was the first person who came to mind. It was an easy decision!
Meticulous, organized, and always client focused, Christy helps manage the details that keep everything on track. From coordinating behind the scenes operations to supporting marketing efforts, she plays an important role in making sure clients have a great experience.
Outside of work, family is at the heart of everything Christy does. She loves spending time with her family, especially her five grandchildren, and makes it a priority to see them as often as possible. With her supportive husband by her side, she enjoys traveling, exploring new places, spending time in the kitchen and camping in their RV. And when she's home, her two cats, Nova and Luna, are always nearby, making sure things run just as smoothly at home as they do at work!
Reviewer
Jennifer Sommer
Jennifer Sommer is Stephanie’s big sister and MSW Accounting’s reviewer. Stephanie loves being the one “in charge” for once, but Jennifer still gets the final look at everything, from the numbers to the processes behind them.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and has built her career as an Actuarial Analyst at a large financial services company, where accuracy isn’t optional. She brings those big company lessons to the small business world, catching the details others might miss and helping make sure every process runs the way it should.
When she’s not double checking everyone’s work, you’ll find her at her sewing machine, at water aerobics, or with her pack of dogs, including Fluffle and Arlo, who are always up for a costume.
