Lauren Roth, CPA

Operations Manager

Lauren Roth keeps Premier Financial Search running behind the scenes. As Operations Manager, she oversees the firm’s operations and internal projects, drawing on more than a decade of project and program management experience at KPMG. Lauren joined PFS as an Executive Recruiter in 2024, so she knows the recruiting process firsthand and understands what the team needs to serve clients and candidates well.

Before joining PFS, Lauren spent more than 10 years at KPMG in New York and Cleveland. She rose to Senior Audit Manager, leading audits for public, private and not-for-profit clients, and later co-led a Global Program Management Office that drove process improvements across 16 countries. Lauren earned her bachelor’s degree in accounting and Spanish from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business.

Lauren is originally from New York and has lived in Cleveland since 2019. She is a mom of two young children and values the work-life balance PFS helps candidates find in their own careers. She speaks fluent Spanish and, when she’s not working, enjoys exercise, exploring nature, and spending time with family and friends.
