Biography

Brad joined the Mowery & Schoenfeld audit team in 2026, bringing 15 years of extensive public accounting experience to his clients. A licensed CPA, he specializes in serving private equity-backed portfolio companies, with a dedicated focus on the technology and professional services industries over the past decade.

Throughout his career, which includes extensive leadership experience at a global public accounting firm, Brad has developed a reputation for his highly hands-on, collaborative approach. He works closely with management teams and financial sponsors to navigate the unique, fast-paced challenges of the private equity lifecycle. Brad frequently advises clients on complex technical accounting matters, expertly guiding them through intricate business combinations, complex financial instruments, and share-based payments. He is particularly adept at steering companies through their first-year audit engagements, ensuring a seamless process while establishing a strong foundation for future growth and scaling.

Before narrowing his focus exclusively to the private equity sector, Brad spent the first six years of his career managing audit engagements for both publicly traded and privately held entities. This background provides him with a comprehensive perspective on stringent reporting requirements and the necessary controls for scaling businesses. 

When he isn’t advising clients, Brad leans into his lifelong passion for technology by tinkering with his PC and keeping up with the latest trends. He is an avid Chicago Cubs fan, a dedicated fantasy baseball player, and an enthusiastic (though self-admittedly amateur) DIY home improver. Above all, Brad loves traveling and sharing new experiences with his wife and two young children.
