As senior vice president and CFO, Jones will be responsible for all aspects of the company and bank’s financial strategy and management.

During her 14 years of service with Beacon Federal, Jones served in many capacities within the bank’s accounting department, most recently as vice president and principal financial and accounting officer since June of 2008.

Beacon Federal Bancorp CEO Ross Prossner said that Lisa has been involved in all of the significant transactions over the past 14 years, including transitioning from a credit union to a mutual savings bank and then finally to a public bank via an initial public offering in 2007.

"She played a lead role in converting the accounting system from one core system to another core operating system and was involved in two credit union to bank mergers. Lisa’s experience is integral as the company continues to seek expansion opportunities," Prossner said.
