Kristen Byrnes,

Kristen Byrnes is an Assistant at DMJPS CPAs + Advisors in the Administrative department. Kristen provides administrative support to the DMJPS Asheville office, including answering phones and assisting in-person arrivals. She executes and manages a variety of activities within the firm’s internal office operations, including supply inventory and document management. Kristen is highly involved in customer relations and genuinely enjoys working to best serve clients’ needs.

Kristen graduated summa cum laude from UNCA with a degree in History before pursuing a Master’s in Library and Information Science at UNCG, so writing and information management are a core part of who she is. Prior to joining DMJPS, she managed a small archive in Asheville, North Carolina where she designed the archive’s data management system and procedures. She is looking forward to using her data management talents and penchant for organization to perfect her role as an administrative assistant.

Kristen enjoys spending time with her husband and three dogs who range in age from 2 to 14—they keep her very busy. Her hobbies include taking her pups for walks in the park, numismatics, learning useless trivia, and experimenting with cooking. She makes a mean flauta.
