Guest Speaker Feb 20

Wed Feb 19 2020

this event will be Thursday Feb 20 at 3 45 PM Room 169 A STEM

Our speaker will be Bryan Edwards. Bryan's bio and intro follows

As a recruiter for MGR Bryan wears multiple hats. He has to be a CPA, evaluate a company need or a candidate ability, and market continually to make San Antonio aware of what MGR can offer. As a result Mark Goodman, CEO MGR and Bryan are very active in the accounting community as well as on campus. Mark is a past president of SA CPA and Bryan is the incoming President. Bryan has been the Committee Chair of the Businesss and Industry Committee, a position I held several years back. I recently did hte Uresti presentation you saw last week for the committee. And so I am able to get Bryan to campus, see how this works?

Bryan Edwards is a CPA with over thirty years’ experience in a variety of roles. He began his career with a Big 8 public accounting firm as an auditor, and later did tax work in public accounting. Bryan has worked as a Staff Accountant, an Accounting Supervisor, a Financial Analyst, a Controller, a CFO, a Consultant, Vice President of Tax in a family office, and for the past five and a half years as a recruiter with MGR Accounting Recruiters. Bryan volunteers at his church, has chaired the Board there several times, currently serves on the TXCPA – San Antonio Board and will serve as President – Elect for the 2020 – 2021 year. He has industry experience in a wide variety of industries including: Retail, wholesale, oil & gas, manufacturing, business services, real estate development and property management.”

Bryan has a rolodex on companies and accounting personnel second to none. This would be a great time to ask about your own career planning.
