              Meet our Speaker: 
              Julie Thompson

              Julie Thompson, CPA, is the founder of Back Office Service Solutions LLC (B.O.S.S), where she leverages her extensive experience in audits, due diligence, and tax engagements at both regional and national CPA firms to help entrepreneurs, small business owners, and nonprofits streamline their essential administrative and operational tasks. Holding a Master’s in Accounting and certified as a Fraud Examiner, Julie also serves as an adjunct professor at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. She is deeply committed to community service as a member and Director of the Kiwanis Club of Forest Park Foundation, and proudly brings the discipline and perspective gained from her civilian service with the United States Army in Korea. Outside of her professional pursuits, Julie enjoys cooking for friends and family, tending her garden, walking her well-known dog Elvis, and championing nonprofit causes through creative fundraising initiatives.
