MEET OUR TEAM
Jill Shaver
I have over 20 years of experience working in the finance and business management industries.
Throughout high school and college, I was the manager of a boutique store. I then worked at a bank, where I had the privilege to learn the positions of teller, banker, operations, and manger. After I graduated college with a BS in Business Administration – Finance, I began my career as a payroll manager for a small accounting firm. I was soon promoted to a staff accountant position. Next, I worked at a major global bank managing a team of financial investigators. During my time working the corporate side of an office, I really missed the client contact. After 6 years I decided to open my company where I can work directly with clients every day.

As a student at Drake University, I’m currently studying Actuarial Science but I developed a love for accounting during high school. Over the past three years, I have worked multiple hands-on customer service jobs and offered math tutoring services. My journey at SBS began in 2024 as an intern through the St. Charles County CAPS Program. In February I was hired to continue working part-time. I currently complete administrative tasks and some select bookkeeping work. During the school year I work remotely from Des Moines, Iowa, but I look forward to staying connected with my fellow coworkers and clients!
