Carolyn Smith

I’ve been a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) for over 20 years. I particularly enjoy working with local and growing businesses, especially in construction, real estate, and professional services. I enjoy knowing my clients’ business, leveraging my years in tax and financial reporting, and providing practical solutions to clients’ business concerns.

​

A graduate of Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management, I worked in public accounting and the construction industry for several years. Over the last 15 years my practice has grown by referrals only. I selectively work with clients with whom I can provide an ROI of at least 200% and make a positive difference.

​

When away from my desk, I enjoy most things outdoors - running, cycling, golfing, and hiking with my husband!

Nancy Clausen

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), specializing in tax for individuals and small businesses. A graduate of Milligan University, I have been working in the accounting industry on a part-time, seasonal basis for over 25 years, while simultaneously raising and homeschooling my four children. I joined CJ Smith CPA in the fall of 2019 and have enjoyed working with our clients to help them achieve their business and financial goals.

​

In my free time, I enjoy walking, hiking, reading, and being outdoors. I love spending time with my family and grandchildren, and volunteering in my church and community.

With an educational background in Information Technology and Business Management, I’ve worked in a variety of for-profit and non-profit organizations. For the past 25 years I’ve come alongside organizations to help develop robust and efficient business processes, leveraging proven technologies and innovative software solutions. I’m now applying those skills and experiences as Operations Manager at CJ Smith CPA. In this role I wear many hats…all aimed at helping our business function efficiently to serve our clients well.

​

When I’m not working, I enjoy being outdoors, playing sports, fishing and boating. I also volunteer at our church and within the broader community.

Amy Kravitz

With a focus in information technology, I have a Bachelor’s degree from SUNY Binghamton and a Master’s degree from Iona College. For many years I served as the local area network administrator for a data processing center serving financial institutions. In 2015, I embarked on a career change and became involved in the accounting profession. I joined a small accounting practice where I performed bookkeeping services and tax return preparation. In August 2022, I joined CJ Smith CPA and am happy to continue to use my business, accounting and tax preparation skills.

​

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, grandson, family and friends. I am an avid cruiser and a huge Yankees fan. I also enjoy reading and dining out.

Robin Shelnutt

With a bachelors degree in accounting from the University of Arkansas and nearly 10 years serving small businesses, I joined CJ CPA in 2025 as a Senior Accountant. I truly enjoy public accounting and helping small businesses understand their financial statements. I also have approximately 10 years experience in corporate accounting. I'm hopeful these experiences will enable me to provide unique insight to the accounting and tax work for CJ CPA. 
 

When I am not working, I love to do anything outdoors. My favorite thing to do is take my dog and go get lost on a trail, with or without my Jeep!
