Scott Goldsmith, Managing Shareholder of JamisonMoneyFarmer PC (“JMF” or “Firm”), is pleased to announce that Andrea Armstrong, Reed Lightsey, and Todd Turner have been admitted as shareholders of the Firm. Their promotions reflect the firm’s commitment to developing talented professionals who demonstrate leadership, technical excellence, and an unwavering dedication to client service.

They join ten other shareholders at one of the state’s top certified public accounting and advisory firms. JMF is headquartered in Tuscaloosa and has been since 1920.

“Andrea, Reed, and Todd have each earned the respect of their colleagues, the trust of their clients, and the confidence of our leadership team,” said Goldsmith. “Their experience, integrity, and commitment to excellence align perfectly with JMF’s values, and we are proud to welcome them into the shareholder group.”

Andrea Armstrong

Andrea Armstrong is a certified public accountant with over 15 years of experience in tax and audit. She joined the Firm in 2011 as an intern. Andrea works in the Firm’s tax and audit practices, providing a wide range of services to small and middle market businesses. Andrea is also a graduate of the ASCPA Leadership Academy and a recipient of the 2017 Outstanding Young CPA Award from the Alabama Society of Certified Public Accountants.

“As a 20-year-old accounting student, I couldn’t have imagined where I am and what my life is today. God truly answered my prayer and opened the perfect door for me. I have been blessed to work with some of the best CPAs in the state of Alabama and for a firm with a 100+ year old legacy of being good and trustworthy people,” Mrs. Armstrong said.

Andrea received a floral arrangement from the other female shareholders, which is a long-standing tradition at the Firm.  The late B. Jean Hunt, JMF’s first female partner and one of the first 15 female CPAs in Alabama, started the tradition when other females made partner.  JMF has a legacy of hiring and promoting women, including the first female CPA in Tuscaloosa, the late Doris Grammas.  Six of the current (now) thirteen shareholders are female.

Andrea holds both a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Accounting from The University of Alabama.

In addition to his professional responsibilities, Reed is active in the community, serving as a board member of Tuscaloosa’s One Place, a children’s advocacy organization.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to become a shareholder of a firm that values both professional excellence and community involvement,” Lightsey said. “I look forward to continuing to support our clients and the Firm for many years to come.”

Todd Turner

Todd Turner works in the Firm’s Accounting & Audit Department and brings more than 17 years of public accounting experience to his role. He manages a variety of audit engagements, with concentrations in manufacturing, hospitality, non‑profit organizations, and employee benefit plans.
