I was immediately drawn to Springline’s commitment to redefining the accounting and advisory space. There’s a clear understanding here that success comes from balancing scale and innovation with a deep respect for people and culture. Springline’s approach aligns with my belief that we can modernize and elevate our industry while keeping our core values at the forefront.

Describe what Scale + Soul means to you.
“Scale with Soul” represents the idea that growth and culture don’t have to be mutually exclusive. It’s about building a thriving organization that drives value and expands its reach, while staying grounded in a genuine commitment to people. At Springline, Scale + Soul means we’re as focused on nurturing a vibrant, supportive environment as we are on driving progress. It’s a reminder people are our greatest asset and that the path to growth is paved with purpose, respect, and a shared vision for positive impact.
What unique perspective do you bring to Springline?
My background has given me a firsthand view of how powerful a thoughtfully integrated tech strategy can transform professional services. I bring a strong focus on aligning technology with our mission—using it to not only boost efficiency but also to create a more engaging, forward-thinking experience for our team and clients alike. I also believe in a balanced approach to innovation, where we can introduce impactful changes without losing sight of the cultural and human elements that define us.
How do you see the future of middle-market accounting and business advisory firms evolving?
The middle-market accounting and advisory field is at a pivotal moment where technology and workforce dynamics are reshaping our industry. I envision firms shifting towards an ecosystem that leverages cutting-edge technology—AI, machine learning, and digital tools—to bring new levels of efficiency and service options. But beyond that, I see a transformation in how we approach talent. Firms will need to be agile in offering work-life flexibility, continuous learning, and clear career paths to attract and retain top professionals. Those who strike this balance will be well-positioned for sustainable growth.
What’s your vision for Springline in the next five and/or 20 years?
In five years, I see Springline as a leader in redefining the mid-market space, where technology, talent, and culture come together seamlessly. We’ll be known not only for our capabilities but also for our reputation as a people-first firm that genuinely invests in its team and clients. Looking 20 years ahead, my vision is for Springline to set a new standard in accounting and advisory—one that’s adaptable, innovative, and respected industry-wide for its commitment to excellence and empathy. We’ll continue to be a place where talent flourishes, clients trust us, and meaningful impact is made.
