Kari Zercher

At the office, I am referred to as the “Go-To-Girl”, or the "glue that holds everything together". As the Office Manager / Bookkeeper / Executive Assistant / Do-it-all for small, but growing businesses, my goal is to help the business grow, while increasing the quality of life for the senior level executives and their teams. In a smaller business, there is typically way too much on everyone's plate.

This provides me with the opportunity to wear many hats to tackle widely varied responsibilities. I thrive in this type of environment. I bring my infectious high energy to work every day with the goal of applying it to my daily tasks and projects as well as spreading this energy around to everyone I encounter.

No job at the office is too big, too small or too challenging. I never hesitate to roll up my sleeves, make things happen and get things done. I easily connect with people and firmly believe that hard work and dedication are the keys to success for everyone.

At the end of the day, having the privilege of working with so many intelligent, creative and diverse people at all levels is such a rewarding experience for me. I look forward to bringing my dedication, experience, energy and passion to the next company that awaits me.
