Chris has been with Lopata, Flegel & Company (LFCO) since 1985 and recently stepped into a management role as Client Services Supervisor. With decades of experience at the firm, she brings deep knowledge of the organization’s operations and a dedication to providing exceptional client service.
Chris values LFCO for its proven expertise and extensive experience in the accounting field. She appreciates the firm’s remarkable range of services and industry-specific knowledge, as well as its commitment to continually upgrading technology to improve accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility. LFCO’s focus on personalized solutions, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, aligns closely with Chris’s own client-centered philosophy.
She also highlights the firm’s high standards of confidentiality, compliance, and transparency. “Beyond technical excellence, LFCO fosters a culture where team members feel appreciated, supported, and valued,” a quality Chris likens to being part of a family.
Before joining LFCO, Chris worked in the metal manufacturing industry. She began her career at Lopata without prior accounting experience, learning the fundamentals through daily lessons from tax staff. Over the years, she has served as the administrative support for the tax department, a role she truly enjoys. Her work ensures that clients receive accurate and complete tax returns for government filings, while the department runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Chris takes pride in delivering a complete and accurate finished product for clients’ tax returns, ensuring all government filings are handled efficiently and correctly. She values building strong relationships through meaningful conversations, providing each client with the time and attention needed to address questions or concerns. “I truly enjoy having conversations with our clients and building a good relationship with them.”
Even when a question falls outside her immediate expertise, Chris is committed to finding the right answer and responding promptly. For Chris, the ability to provide administrative support and personalized client care is one of the most rewarding aspects of her role, and she views it as a key advantage for clients choosing Lopata as their accounting partner.
Outside of work, Chris enjoys spending quality time with her family, reading, and doing puzzles. She also loves traveling with her husband and attending concerts, balancing her professional commitments with activities that bring her joy and relaxation.
