MEET LAURIE.

Laurie Prill, EA, MA

Laurie was a tax accountant and bookkeeper for a decade, working with hundreds of small businesses at every stage of their journey. During this time, her clients continuously pushed her for greater involvement outside of accounting, pulling her in-house as a fractional CFO in 2019.

As she expanded her role, she pursued graduate degrees at Stanford GSB’s prestigious LEAD program and UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, where she graduated with honors. She is currently finishing her MA in Finance at Harvard.

When she isn’t deep in spreadsheet land, on the ground at a client activation, or troubleshooting, she can be found driving her 1974 convertible through wine-county in very impractical shoes.
