Meet the Founders

Shona Hurlburt

Precision, Passion, and Partnership

Based in the charming town of Willows, Northern California, Shona Hurlburt is a powerhouse in bookkeeping, known for her meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to excellence. Her journey in finance is one of resilience and passion, shaped by hands-on experience, including her pivotal role at a world-renowned MDF mill.

It was there that she met Traci Champion, a visionary leader who quickly recognized Shona’s exceptional talent. Their partnership flourished, and even when the mill faced bankruptcy in 2023, Shona’s dedication never wavered. Beyond bookkeeping, she is an entrepreneur, successfully running a fitness club and a cosmetology business while cherishing time with her family.

In April 2024, after years of collaboration, Shona and Traci co-founded Champion & Hurlburt, bringing their expertise together to provide unparalleled financial solutions to businesses across California and Nevada.
