At The Finance Framework, we help micro and small business owners make sense of their numbers, from those just getting started to those ready to take their finances to the next level.

Our Story
After 20 years navigating the complex world of finance and accounting for large organizations, Lauren Johnson, CPA, realized something important: working with big corporations often meant navigating layers of bureaucracy, with little direct impact on people’s lives. She wanted something different, a way to use her expertise to make a real difference for the businesses that drive local economies, create jobs, and leave a lasting impact by helping others.
That vision became The Finance Framework. A firm dedicated to empowering small business owners with the clarity, systems, and insights they need to thrive. Built on trust, we’ve earned our reputation by delivering on our promises: reliable guidance, clean books, and consistent follow-through.
Our Values
Honest & Transparent: No jargon, no smoke and mirrors, just financial guidance.
Integrity-Driven: Every recommendation, every system, every report is designed with your business’s best interest at heart.
Nerdy About Numbers: Excel spreadsheets, dashboards, cash flow models, we love them all, and we put that passion to work for you.
Customer-Centric: We take the time to understand your business and make finance approachable and manageable.
Our Promise
We bring micro and small business owners the same financial sophistication as the big players, without the complexity or cost. We simplify accounting, provide clear insights, and give you the confidence to make smart financial decisions and focus on growing your business.
