Brian grew up in Edwardsville, IL, across the river from St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated with a degree in Business Management & Marketing and a minor in Statistics from Truman State University in Kirksville, MO. In mid 2018, Brian relocated to Charlotte, NC, with the expansion of our new office there.

After college and prior to BY&S, Brian spent 5 years working in a community hospital’s Accounting department where he was employed in various roles, including Financial Analyst. He has been with BY&S for almost 6 years and enjoys golfing, hiking, roller coasters and travelling in general.

“I feel what drives the success of BY&S is our culture and our people. Different companies have a different ‘feel’ about them, but there is a special feeling about BY&S. Everyone works so well together. As we interact with each other (either onsite or remotely) on exams, our relationships are established and grow—we are like family. Even when you don’t see someone for a year, you just pick up where you left off before—never missing a beat. Also, the partners make a point to have a personal connection with all of the staff, which really means a lot.”
