Jocelyn Quintos

Jocelyn is recognized for creating a culture of excellence within her accounting team. She has implemented professional development programs to help her staff, including recent graduates, excel in their roles. In response to citywide staffing shortages, Jocelyn developed a program to provide temporary support from her department, ensuring continuity of services. A trusted advisor to all city departments, she has been instrumental in increasing the adoption of the city’s ERP system and ensuring compliance with new accounting standards. As her colleague Beth Portman notes, "Jocelyn is one of the unsung heroes of our profession," consistently doing the right thing because it matters.
