2024 Prestigious Women Awards Honoree: Mindy Jennings

Meet Mindy Jennings, Co-Founder of Payrolls Plus

Mindy Jennings is the co-founder of Payrolls Plus. She graduated from FIU with a Bachelors of Accounting and an MBA. After passing the CPA exam, she worked for Deloitte & Touche USA, LLP, for almost five years. Seeking to broaden her client-side experience, Ms. Jennings became the controller for a large direct mail company. For the next 14 years, Ms. Jennings dedicated her career to working in consulting and corporate IT departments implementing Accounting, HR, and Payroll systems (Oracle, ABRA, Platinum, Solomon, Great Plains) for all size companies. Her largest project was the Oracle HR/Payroll Implementation at PRC. Her experience also includes nearly two years at payroll giant Ceridian, a payroll outsourcing company dedicated to large corporations. Payrolls Plus was started in 2004 when Mindy and her husband wanted to provide small to mid-size companies with a better payroll solution. Their philosophy of combining the benefits and resources of the largest payroll service companies with the service commitment and delivery of a locally-owned business has proven to be a winning combination.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
