This is Part 4 of WGLT’s weeklong series The Next Shift about workforce issues in McLean County. Coming Friday: The theater community in Bloomington-Normal wants a new business model to shift from volunteer help.
Frances Arenhalt of Bloomington learned bookkeeping when she was 13. Her accountant parents gave her their business ledgers to occupy her time that summer.
“I had the audacity to say I was bored,” she quipped.
Arenhalt has spent her entire career in finance. In 2021, she did what a lot of people did — she quit her job and opened her own business.
