“One thing that has always been really important to me is giving back to students and universities to try to help them find their path into opportunities in public accounting.”
An accomplished career mom of four boys, Kelli Bernstein is an inspiring cheerleader for the field of public accounting. She splits her efforts between reaching out to universities and schools in the area to expose college and high school students to the widespread opportunities as a CPA, as well as mentoring young moms at her own firm who might be struggling to find the balance between the demands of work and home. “That’s something that’s been really important to me is to be able to stress to the younger moms — you can have both. It has its challenges sometimes, but as long as you stick with it and find that balance, it can work. It got me to where I’m at today.”
