As Accounting Assistant, her focus is providing the groundwork for accounting and payroll services. Completely versed in cutting through the maze of state and federal paperwork requirements, Pamela prepares personal property tax statements, personal tax returns, and financial statement setups. Pamela is also our resident wizard for Quickbooks.  Now that the last of her two kids has headed to college, she spends time gardening, hiking, camping and has recently discovered a fondness for salmon fishing in the wilds of Northern Michigan. Renee Davidson, Professional Bookkeeper Bringing flocks of field experience to our team, Renee has been with Shayna Accounting since the spring of 2001. She says she spends almost all her off-work hours running the kids from one event to another. In her brief down time, Renee loses herself in quilting gardening, and reading. Holding an Associates Degree in Business Accounting, she efficiently addresses payroll needs and processes Financial Statements. Renee's specialty is in tax compliance issues, but she's also adept in answering queries about SIMPLE IRA's. When you've got questions, give Renee a call; she'll give it to you straight. Nancy Gibson, Professional Bookkeeper Nancy has over 27 years of experience and her never-ending depth of knowledge serves Shayna clients extremely well. From bookkeeping to payroll, she knows the ledgers forward and back, and she understands the value of your time. Nancy operates out of her virtual office in sunny Florida, but keeps in close contact via phone, facsimile, and, most often, the Internet.   Kimberly Adkins, Office Manager One of the brightest stars in the Shayna firmament, Kim's brilliant performance involves task management for the company.  When not forcing the Shayna CPAs through the gauntlet of everyday's To-Do list, she handles the billing and haranguing duties of Accounts Receivable and delivers much-needed assistance to Head Honcho, Ken.  Kim's "take-charge" attitude has served her well in the Administrative Assistant field since 1989, and clients appreciate her commitment to their well being and satisfaction. Born and raised in the Great Lake State, she's a loving wife, mother of two, and proud Grandma to two boys, as well as die-hard fan of the Wolverines & Red Wings.  Weather permitting, Kim & Husband enjoy getting lost on their Harley Sportster 883. Sheila Coy, Administrative Assistant-Front Office The first cheerful face you see when walking in, Sheila is new to our team but certainly not new to the demanding discipline that is accounting.  She draws from deep wells of experience in customer service, bookkeeping, payroll, and is always prepared for expediting the task at hand and getting the job done.  A musician as well as full time student, Sheila aims to fulfill each day's most critical mission: to take care of your needs and leave you smiling.

Fordyce, JD Bolstered by a business degree from the University of Michigan, a Juris Doctorate from the University of Southern California, and  27 years of combined legal and financial management experience, David has the training and expertise to lead your business through the legal/financial maze.  He’ll capably handle matters of company formation, corporate record keeping, business contracts, real estate leases and purchases, asset protection, business succession, estate planning, and employment.  In areas of taxation, administrative issues, employment, contracts, and unfair business practices, David is adept at dispute resolution, from demand and settlement negotiations to trial and appeal.  As your business attorney, David teams with Shayna's accounting and tax professionals to serve, protect, and build your business, with your success as our primary goal.
