Get to know me

Barb Brady, CPA, MBA
I’ve always liked accounting, but my journey has some twists and turns.
I started in a large CPA firm and then a large corporation. I felt I contributed and I also felt I learned. But … I also learned I was more personable than the other accountants. This was Good news / Bad news.
Bad news: I didn’t fit the corporate mold; some didn’t “get” that an accountant could be super serious and focused yet still be personable. Good news: I could talk ‘non-techy’ language to my colleagues.
Ultimately … I realized I needed to make a change (although, it took me years to figure that out)!
I now know who I am and what I’m passionate about: being the accountant that is a high achiever and focused … yet is personable and can explain things to you in terms you can understand — with information you can use.
At the core, I believe in ...
