LGC Stories | Meet Shawnda Trout, Corporate Controller<\/b><\/h3>\n

For the past 9 years, Shawnda has played an integral part in monitoring and advancing the financial health of LGC. Without further ado let\u2019s dive into her story!<\/span><\/p>\n

For the past nine years, Shawnda Trout has been a vital force in advancing LGC\u2019s financial health. As Corporate Controller, her journey stands out among our Executive VPs since she leads the financial department rather than a staffing division. Let\u2019s dive into her inspiring story!<\/span><\/p>\n

Shawnda grew up in the small town of Winchester, Indiana, where she spent her early years helping in her family\u2019s furniture store, learning the fundamentals of running a small business. Her interest in business naturally led her to the University of Evansville, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Accounting.<\/span><\/p>\n

After graduation, Shawnda jumped headfirst into the corporate world, starting at one of the largest accounting firms, Ernst & Young. Her career began in auditing, and she furthered her education by earning a Master\u2019s in Accountancy from Notre Dame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following her graduate studies, Shawnda transitioned to an internal audit position with ADESA, traveling across the country to audit the internal operations of different auction branches. Later, she moved into corporate finance at Stanley, Black & Decker, where she held various positions in sales reporting, data analysis, and business intelligence, which helped her develop a well-rounded skill set.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2015, Shawnda decided to return to public accounting, focusing on helping mid-size and smaller firms with their financial and accounting needs. This decision eventually brought her to LGC, where she began as a one-woman accounting department. Over time, her role expanded, and she was appointed to the Executive Team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflecting on her role at LGC, Shawnda says, \u201cI truly feel I have the ability to do so many different things that help propel the company forward\u2014by monitoring our financial health, sharing stats and trends, and looking toward the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While Shawnda didn\u2019t begin her career with LGC, she appreciates how her previous experiences prepared her for success here. \u201cI believe the wide range of skills and experiences I gained before joining LGC set me up to thrive in this role,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, starting at LGC came with its own set of challenges. Shawnda recalls learning new processes such as payroll, accounts receivable management, and bill payments. As the company has grown and streamlined operations, her department has expanded into a dedicated team of four.<\/span><\/p>\n

During times when she faced uncharted territory, Shawnda\u2019s determination and curiosity drove her to succeed. \u201cI\u2019ve learned not to be afraid to go after what you want. Keep asking questions and always seek opportunities to learn something new,\u201d she advises. Shawnda emphasizes the importance of collaboration at LGC, where she\u2019s found everyone, especially within the Executive Team, is eager to help others succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflecting on her career growth, Shawnda credits her earlier roles for laying a strong foundation, but she\u2019s also quick to highlight the knowledge she\u2019s gained from LGC\u2019s leadership. \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot from both George and Glen about the staffing industry and the unique challenges of running a small to midsize company,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside of work, Shawnda enjoys spending time with her family, cheering on her three children in their various activities\u2014from high school track meets to baseball games and dance recitals. When she\u2019s not with family, she loves traveling, hanging out with friends, and spending time outdoors biking or camping.<\/span><\/p>\n

At LGC, we\u2019re continually inspired by the leaders who shape our company and nurture our teams. Shawnda has played an integral role in helping LGC grow into the strong and vibrant business we are today. Let Shawnda\u2019s passion and determination inspire you to grow within your role\u2014or, if you\u2019re ready, join our team and start your journey with LGC!<\/span><\/p>\n
