Upon passing the CPA exam, Brian joined Deloitte & Touche, LLP in Detroit as a senior auditor in 2001 and obtained his CPA license the in 2003. During his six years with Deloitte, he worked on the firm’s largest clients including General Motors’ GMAC division (General Motors Acceptance Corp) and managed engagements of several Tier-1 Automotive Suppliers. After several years as an audit manager for Deloitte, Brian left for the private sector which included roles as SEC Reporting Manager for Federal-Mogul Corp and Director of Global Accounting for Dayco Products, LLC.

When the opportunity to return to the public accounting field and move west to Prescott, Arizona presented itself, the decision was easy. Working directly with clients was always his passion.
