The team
A small, careful team you'll actually know.
Not a rotating pool of associates. The same three people, on every engagement — plus a quiet administrative team keeping everything moving in the background.
01 — Founder & Managing Partner
Suzanne Zaman
CPA · SPHR · MBA
Suzanne founded Ledger Lane on a simple idea: businesses deserve an accounting firm that feels like a trusted long-term partner, not a monthly invoice. With more than 25 years of experience across accounting, tax, payroll, HR, and financial strategy, she brings a rare combination — a licensed CPA and a Senior Professional in Human Resources under one calm roof.
That CPA + SPHR pairing is one of Ledger Lane's quiet competitive advantages. Most firms handle numbers or people; Suzanne handles both, coordinated, without a hand-off.

Andrea Sanchez
02 — Bookkeeping Manager
Andrea Sanchez
B.A., UC San Diego · 18+ Years Experience
Andrea leads day-to-day bookkeeping operations. Her 18 years of accounting experience spans CPA firm work, journal entries, bank reconciliations, accounts payable, franchise management, payroll coordination, and the workflow discipline that keeps a boutique firm running quietly.
Clients know her as the calm, careful voice on the other end of the email — the one who catches things before they become questions.
03 — Co-Owner · Actuarial & Data Analytics
Mahmud Zaman
MBA · Actuarial Science · Doctoral Research (ABD)
Mahmud is Ledger Lane's premium specialist — brought in when a business is ready to think in forecasts, scenarios, and models rather than just line items. He's led advanced analytics initiatives for industry leaders including Abbott, Dexcom, Quidel, BD, and bioTheranostics.
His expertise spans predictive modeling, financial analytics, forecasting, business intelligence, AI-assisted analytics, and executive decision support. Available on request when the questions get bigger than the ledger.
04 — In the background
Administrative quietly at work.
Behind every engagement is a small administrative team that keeps documents moving, calendars organized, and correspondence answered — without ever feeling like a switchboard. Their responsibilities include client intake, secure document management, scheduling, correspondence, and quiet coordination across every service line.
You may never see their names in an email signature. You'll feel their work in every interaction that goes smoothly.
