Congratulations to this week’s BNI Providence Business Partners Top Dog, Gina Jordan with First Citizens Bank!

Gina is the kind of banker every business owner wants to know — someone who takes the time to understand the person and the business behind the numbers.

Through First Citizens Bank, Gina can help individuals and local businesses with their banking needs, including personal banking, business banking, lending, and other financial solutions. She’s also a familiar face right here in our Charlotte community at the First Citizens Providence Road location.

BNI works because of members who consistently show up, build relationships, and look for ways to help the people around them succeed — and Gina is a great example of that.

Congratulations, Gina! Enjoy being our Top Dog this week!

This week’s BNI Providence Business Partners Spotlight goes to Sean VanHuysen with Paychex!

Running a business is hard enough without spending all your time worrying about payroll, HR, employee benefits, time tracking, and everything else that comes with managing a team. That’s where Sean and Paychex come in.

Sean works with business owners to help simplify the employee side of running a company so they can spend more time actually growing it.

If you know a business owner who is hiring, growing a team, frustrated with payroll, or simply wondering whether there’s a better way to manage their employees, Sean is a great person to connect with.

Great presentation, Sean! 👏
