Zephrina Cazaubon CPA, EA
Founder/Managing Partner
Zephrina Cazaubon is the Founder of ZMC & Associates and its managing partner, in addition to being an accomplished financial services professional.
Her robust 20 years in the financial services industry stems from her experience providing both in-house and outsourced CFO services – in addition to the establishment, growth and development of several accounting and financial businesses. Zephrina’s success stems from her ability to build teams based on competence, capabilities and shared core values.
ZMC & Associates provides payroll, and accounting services, as well as tax planning and preparation, retirement planning and insurance services – aligning well with JMR Financial Group’s offerings. Both organizations are aptly prepared to serve the other to ensure excellent customer service.
Prior to forming ZMC & Associates, Zephrina spent 15 years as Chief Financial Officer for a global transportation and logistics company. Realizing that many companies in growth phases are not yet ready to hire financial leaders at the c-suite level, she was inspired to launch her own business and provide that as an outsourced service. Today, she transforms her experience into guidance and oversight for companies in a wide range of industries.
Zephrina is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a member of the American Institute of Public Accountants (AICPA). Her B.S. is in Accounting from the University of Indiana, and she has also earned an accounting professional certificate from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. She lives and works in Atlanta, GA where she manages a distributed team of financial experts helping clients across the United States.
Zephrina lives in Atlanta Georgia. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and taking part in charitable activities.
Zephrina’ s favorite quote speaks to her passion in helping others: “Life is really about creating meaning – and meaning doesn’t come from what you get; it comes from what you give – Tony Robbins.
