Accounting Coaches

Hey there, and welcome to my profile! I’m Taylor, a CPA with a background in accounting and finance, ranging from Big Four firms like EY and KPMG to leading finance at a fast-growing startup. Along the way, I've worked with businesses of all sizes—helping them navigate financial compliance, strategic planning, and growth. My journey started as an Assurance Intern, and now, as Head of Finance at Brite, I’ve gained firsthand experience in everything from financial modeling to scaling operations. I know how challenging (and rewarding) a career in accounting can be, and I love helping others find their own path in the field. If you're looking to break into accounting, level up your career, or just swap insights, let’s connect—I’d love to chat!

With a Master's Degree in Accounting and a CPA certification, I bring a robust blend of technical expertise and practical experience to my coaching. My career spans both traditional and non-traditional roles as a CPA - including Big 4 audit, Private Equity operations, and now SaaS Implementations. My diverse experience shows that there a variety of interesting job paths you can take as an accountant, and I would love to help you learn what careers are out there and how you can successfully pivot. I'm here to collaborate and help you succeed. Let's connect and chart your path to success as you aspire towards your next goal!

I'm a CPA with a background that blends Big 4 public accounting, technical advisory, and in-house leadership—so I’ve seen the accounting and finance function from every angle. Most of my experience is in life sciences and tech start-ups, where I’ve helped companies navigate everything from complex GAAP issues to IPO prep and audit readiness. I’ve worked on revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock comp (ASC 718), lease accounting, clinical trial accruals, convertible instruments, and all the other technical areas that tend to trip people up. I’ve also spent a lot of time building out finance processes from the ground up—streamlining close timelines, standing up internal controls, supporting audits, and helping leadership make decisions based on clean, accurate data. Whether it’s working directly with auditors, guiding a team through their first 10-K, or mentoring someone stepping into their first controller role, I really enjoy helping others feel confident in their accounting and finance chops. I’d be a solid coach for anyone navigating complex accounting questions, trying to clean up their books, or getting ready to scale.

I am passionate about mentoring aspiring accountants and have successfully guided numerous individuals in advancing their careers.

For professionals exploring or advancing in accounting, reporting, or finance roles. Accounting and finance roles demand technical competence — but also the ability to explain complexity clearly, connect across teams, and lead with precision. Having led large finance and accounting transformations and coached professionals through all stages of their careers, I help you understand what hiring managers look for, how to communicate your strengths, and how to turn technical skill into professional opportunity. Whether you’re entering the field, aiming for your next step, or pivoting from another discipline, we’ll build a clear plan that fits your goals and experience.

The accounting profession attracts brilliant, analytical minds who often struggle with the "soft skills" that determine career advancement—things like self-advocacy, communication, and navigating office politics. Having spent three decades in corporate accounting environments and working with professionals at every level, I've seen how technical excellence alone isn't enough to create the career satisfaction and advancement you deserve. Many accountants, especially those who are neurodivergent or introverted, need support in finding their professional voice and learning to articulate their value. I help accounting professionals develop the confidence, communication skills, and strategic thinking needed to advance their careers on their own terms. From learning to speak up in meetings and negotiate for promotions, to building leadership skills and exploring entrepreneurial opportunities, I provide the guidance that helps you leverage your analytical strengths while developing the interpersonal skills that create lasting career success.

Hi, I’m Brenna! I graduated summa cum laude with a Master’s degree from the nationally ranked accounting program at the Marriott School of Business in April. Right now, I’m studying for the CPA exams (1 down, 3 to go!). This fall, I’ll be joining KPMG’s Deal Advisory practice. As someone who’s recently gone through the recruiting process, I understand exactly what accounting students are facing—from coursework and internships to interviews and offers. Whether you’re working through tough accounting concepts or preparing for the next step in your career, I’m here to help. Let’s connect!

As an experienced accounting professional, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to help my clients navigate the complexities of accounting with confidence. With a strong background in financial reporting, compliance, and strategic financial management, I’ve built my career working with top firms like EY, CrossCountry Consulting, and now as an Accounting Manager at DoorDash. I started my journey in accounting at the University of Waterloo, earning my degree in Accounting and Finance, followed by a Graduate Diploma in Accounting from the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University. My international exchange at Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz broadened my global perspective and adaptability in the ever-evolving financial landscape. Throughout my career, I’ve advanced from Staff Accountant to Senior Associate at EY and later took on the role of Senior Consultant at CrossCountry Consulting, where I provided strategic financial guidance to businesses. These experiences have given me deep insights into financial operations, risk management, and best practices that drive business success. As an accounting coach, my goal is to simplify complex financial concepts, provide strategic insights, and empower individuals and businesses to make informed financial decisions. Whether you're looking to refine your accounting skills, navigate financial reporting challenges, or optimize your business’s financial health, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

I can offer a unique perspective, starting in Accounting, then moving to technical pre-sales, to management consulting, to Amazon PM, and to now managing $70M in ARR, to interviewees looking to break into PM and consulting from the outside. I have also worked in AI/ML, mobile and web products, and across various industries (B2B, B2C, e-commerce, fintech, to name a few). Aside from my qualifications, I get a ton of joy in following up with my mentees to see them crack the interviews at FAANG/consulting, and to help set a better course for their careers and lives. We grow by giving back.
