Cristen Lebsack
Moms in Business Unite VP Finance & Operations
Cristen Lebsack has been a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor since 2003 and enjoys assisting smaller businesses implement Quickbooks and accounting controls at various stages of their lifecycle. She believes that increasing controls and financial management has helped her clients save time and money and realize the importance of knowing where their businesses stand.
Born and raised in Newport Beach, Cristen attended the University of Southern California, where she earned her B.S. in business administration with an emphasis in accounting. After working as a real estate auditor for Coopers & Lybrand / PricewaterhouseCoopers for 5-½ years, her entrepreneurial spirit grew too strong to ignore. She left public accounting in April 2000 and started her own independent financial consulting practice.
Since having her son, Logan, in late 2005, she has truly realized the benefits and flexibility of owning her own business and being a “work at home” mom while enjoying a lot of quality time with her son. In 2005, her network marketing interest lead her to a health and wellness company, Arbonne International, where she has discovered a passion for helping other busy moms and professionals feel better about themselves, physically and financially.
Cristen has shared her accounting and volunteering passion by being a leader in a variety of local professional and fundraising women’s groups, including The Parent Connection, Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, Mom Business Associates, San Diego Chapter of Delta Gamma Alumnae, and USC Trojan League Associates of San Diego County.
In addition to her other responsibilities, Cristen contributes to training and supporting women business owners by serving as the VP Finance & Operations for all of the Moms in Business Unite Conferences across the country.
