Emerald Tax & Accounting is owned and operated by Lawrence and her husband, Chase Lawrence, who serves as President while continuing his career as a Lieutenant with Glynn County Fire Rescue. Together, they are committed to building lasting relationships with local business owners through practical financial guidance, responsive service, and year-round support.

"We believe every business owner deserves to understand their numbers," said Tanya Lawrence. "Our goal is to help entrepreneurs gain financial clarity so they can make confident decisions, and build businesses that are financially healthy for years to come."

Lawrence founded Emerald Tax & Accounting after recognizing that many small business owners needed a trusted accounting partner who could provide ongoing support rather than simply prepare tax returns once a year.

In addition to Emerald Tax & Accounting, Lawrence is the founder and CEO of Golden Apple Agency Inc., a strategic tax advisory firm specializing in proactive tax planning, IRS representation, tax resolution, and financial strategy for established businesses. She also founded Business With Tanya, a leadership and business education platform, and co-founded Out of Office On Purpose, a brand focused on helping entrepreneurs build businesses that support the lives they want to live.
