Headshot of Brett Lawson.

I volunteer with a local neighborhood organization that pairs me with older adult neighbors to help them with projects around their house. I value the relationships I am able to form and hearing about how the neighborhood has changed over time while doing a little manual labor.

Principal, CPA

Experience

I provide assurance, advisory, and technical accounting and financial reporting services to privately held, private equity-backed, and publicly traded organizations.  I serve as the assurance technical leader for the firm’s energy industry group and am a member of the firm’s professional standards team.

What attracted me to this career was the ability to blend order and structure with flexibility and judgement. I enjoy the challenges created by the ever-changing accounting literature and its application to new and evolving business operations and technologies.

Because of my energy industry expertise, I often speak to industry groups about the accounting and financial reporting impacts of current events and the accounting impacts of recent accounting pronouncements.

I belong to the AICPA and the Denver Petroleum Club. In the community, I am a member of the Accounting Advisory Committee at the University of Colorado Denver and serve as a mentor to accounting students at the University of Colorado Denver. I received my B.S. and M.S. in business administration at the University of Colorado Boulder.
