Emily grew up in Arizona riding bikes and catching lizards. She chose accounting as a profession after taking some classes in high school, and finding out she was really good at it!

She has 2 Corgis named Newton and Dallas, and she spends her free time reading and playing her current video game obsession: Baldur’s Gate 3.

Brooke graduated from Scurry-Rosser High School in Texas. She had a deep love for horses and the anything outdoors. After high school rodeo, she moved into the college and amateur ranks. Rodeo consumed her life, until she found a new love for training barrel racing horses later in her college years. She still has horses and trains one or two each year to go on with to compete with someone else at a higher level.

Brooke went to college at Tarleton State University in Stephenville Texas. She double majored, and graduated with both degrees (Accounting and Business Management). She also has a minor in Biology. Originally accounting wasn’t even on her radar as a profession. She was turned away by the rumors of long hours and the boring work (so she thought). She was forced to take some business classes with her career choice, then later forced to take an accounting class and she didn’t hate it. So she took more and it naturally made sense to her. That’s when she decided it was a safe choice and she thought it would translate well to most areas, but then she never left the accounting world! After spending a couple years in the private industry, it got too monotonous and she needed something more challenging.

When Brooke is not working, she is spending time with her husband, two boys, two dogs and two horses. You can find the family on the ranch feeding cows, riding horses, repairing things on the ranch, playing in the shop or playing family games. Brooke also likes to read, listen to podcasts and travel when time allows. Her priority is doing things with the kids while they are young.

Brittany grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. As a kid, she loved riding her bike and going to the field behind her house with her friends where they would catch lizards.

Brittany is married with two daughters, and has a tuxedo cat named Pip. She loves doing arts and crafts projects and is an avid reader especially of the classics.

Beth grew up in Weatherford, TX, but attended a small town school in Peaster, TX. Most of her childhood was spent playing sports – softball being her favorite (Lets go Rangers!). However, she played lots of board games as a family and made embarrassing videos with friends during many sleepovers. She’s thankful that TikTok was not around then!

She completed her first three years of college at Texas State University, but received her Bachelors degree in Accounting from Tarleton State University. She is currently enrolled at the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley in order to complete a Masters degree in Accounting with a Taxation concentration.

Beth said she was the weird 10 year-old that said she was going to be an accountant when she grew up instead of something cool like a veterinarian. She was a mini-version of her aunt and idolized her growing up, which lead her to pursue her career of accounting. A love for math and a hatred of science meant she wasn’t destined to be an engineer. So, off to the business school!

Beth and her husband are both avid adventurers. They met at a rock climbing gym and seek a thrill in all activities they do together. You can also find them being ruthless in board/card games. They have three amazing dogs, that are truly the best boys. And spoiled rotten.

Beth is interested in too many things, which creates a new hobby each month. Reading consumes most of her time and you can definitely find her huddled up with a good horror or psychological thriller. She enjoys being active – Peloton and Pickleball get a special shoutout. Plus, you’ve got to throw in a good craft like cross-stitch, crochet, or candle making while watching the latest crime documentary.

He likes to think of accounting as a puzzle and loves figuring out the missing pieces.

Ameen’s wife is the rock of his life, and he doesn’t know what he would do without her. Outside of work, he also enjoys watching NFL and college football. He spends a lot of time at the gym and playing pickup basketball. He also cuts hair for friends.
