BRENDAN GARAY

Experience

Brendan leads the Outsourced Accounting Services practice’s growth and finance initiatives, bringing more than a decade of experience helping growth‑stage and multi‑entity businesses modernize their accounting operations and strengthen financial reporting. He partners closely with owners and executive teams to design effective financial models and align processes with organizational objectives, helping them make informed decisions on growth, resource allocation, and operational priorities. His work spans outsourced bookkeeping and month‑end close, controllership support and fractional CFO services, with hands‑on implementation of accounting systems.

Prior to his current role, Brendan served as a Managing Partner at local CPA firm where he spearheaded the firm’s monthly accounting and advisory services. Earlier in his career, he focused on tax compliance and advisory across passthroughs, corporations and high‑net‑worth individuals. That depth of tax experience has shaped his approach as a full‑service advisor who integrates operational accounting, financial planning, and tax strategy.

Brendan earned both his Bachelor of Science in Accounting and his MBA from Penn West University. He is a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the state of North Carolina and Pennsylvania. In 2024, he was selected to the NCACPA Young Professionals Cabinet.
