Lori O’Connor
When I was 12 years old I found out that people actually get paid for handling other people’s money. Right then and there I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! I started working in the accounting field at 16. I worked part-time after school and full-time during the summers learning bookkeeping.
In 1999, I graduated from Worcester State College with a BS degree in Business Administration, with a Concentration in Accounting. My first job after graduating was working at a CPA firm in the high net worth department. While there, I found a need for bookkeeping and payroll services for these clients that wasn’t part of the scope of the firm. With the firms blessing, I started my own part-time payroll company, handling mainly housekeeping and nanny payrolls.
I began my career at Davis Advertising in April 2006. Over the last 12 years, I’ve handled all aspects of the company’s billing, health insurance, 401(K) and payroll.

Some facts about me
- Hobbies
I love number puzzles (no surprise!) My favorites are Ken Ken and any type of Sudoku (the harder the better). I always have one in my hand when I’m home or when I’m traveling. - Item on my bucket list
I love to travel to different parts of the world. One on my bucket list is the Rhine River Cruise. - Favorite dessert/food
I’m not a dessert/candy person, however, put a plate of spaghetti and meatballs in front of me and I’m in heaven.
