Bio
Jennifer Larson, CPA
Mike has been awesome to work with! We work together on the board of the local IMA chapter of San Antonio. He’s been a strong part of growing our chapter, and pushing to continuously improve to serve our members and guests. Although the IMA is a nonprofit, his strong skills in business process and consulting are just as valuable to us as it would any business. He has been very dedicated and reliable part of the chapter, and we certainly couldn’t have done it without him.

I have known Mike Lovelace since 2006. We have continued to be friends and professional resources to each other. Mike is a motivated leader and developer of teams and their individual members. While he is very well versed in finance, accounting, IT and operations, he is a very skilled project manager with a very strong process improvement mindset and always working to improve the current processes. He uses his out-of-the-box thinking skills to bring about improved processes and financial results. Above all, Mike is a man of integrity. It is always a pleasure to sit down over a meal and catch up with Mike!
