At BryMar, we take pride in building a strong, close-knit team that supports each other in and out of the office. Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to one of our shining stars: Kelleigh, an audit senior who has quickly become a key player on our team. Whether she’s solving complex audits or keeping the virtual office lively with her infectious smile, Kelleigh brings energy, dedication, and expertise to everything she does.
From Small Town Roots to Audit Excellence
Kelleigh’s path to BryMar started in Michigan, where she grew up near East Lansing. She attended a small university in Ohio, drawn to the close-knit atmosphere and the chance to keep playing soccer. While in college, Kelleigh discovered her love for numbers and the structure of accounting. “I liked that accounting has rules to follow, and it just made sense to me,” she says.
Her passion for auditing emerged during an internship, and from there, her career took off. After a few years working remotely through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kelleigh found her way to BryMar, where she feels right at home. “This is the perfect world for me. We’ve figured out how to keep a fun culture, even while being remote. I still feel connected with everyone, and we laugh a lot together.”
Finding Balance and Thriving
When asked what advice she would give to newcomers in the field, Kelleigh emphasized the importance of balance. “If you constantly push yourself to give 100% effort without breaks, burnout is inevitable. Scheduling time to recharge helps you show up at full capacity more often, rather than running on 70-80% all the time. Striking this balance is essential for producing quality work and maintaining happiness over the long term.”
She also strives to leave a lasting impact by being a dependable teammate. “I want people to know they can count on me,” she says. “If someone’s struggling to meet a deadline, I’m here to help without holding a grudge. We’re all here to get things done together.”
Beyond the Numbers: Life Outside the Office
When she’s not diving into audits, Kelleigh is likely catching a game—whether it’s horse racing in Kentucky, football and baseball in Cincinnati, soccer in Columbus, or a local game while on vacation. Sports play a huge part in her life, and she dreams of one day traveling to Europe and experiencing a Chelsea soccer match in England.
But it’s not all sports for Kelleigh. When a recent power outage forced her to find some old-school hobbies, she rediscovered the joys of painting and LEGO sets. “I even found a paint-by-numbers kit at Target, which was so fun!”
If you ever want to chat about accounting, soccer, or the best dystopian novels (she's a huge Hunger Games fan!), Kelleigh is always happy to share her insights.
A Team That Supports Each Other
Kelleigh’s enthusiasm and dedication haven’t gone unnoticed. Managing Partner Michael shared, "Kelleigh is an absolute rockstar. Our team loves working with her because she’s not just talented—she’s also committed to helping others grow. Her potential is sky-high, and we’re excited to see her continue to thrive."
At BryMar, we believe in supporting our team on and off the field, whether that’s providing opportunities for professional growth or encouraging hobbies and activities outside of work. For Kelleigh, that means balancing her love for auditing with her passion for sports and creative outlets.
Kelleigh’s love for auditing, her passion for sports, and her commitment to being a great teammate make her an invaluable part of BryMar. We’re so lucky to have her on our team, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things she’ll accomplish.
