Based in Nashville, TN, Scott provides clients with solutions to the challenges facing governments today such as financial sustainability in a time of revenue challenges, establishing and maintaining robust financial management practices, and putting in place an effective policy framework. Scott has nearly 25 years of diverse experience in public sector financial management and accounting. Prior to joining Eide Bailly, Scott spent 17 years working directly for cities after serving as a consultant to state and local governments earlier in his career. As a chief financial officer and assistant chief financial officer for three medium- to large-sized urban cities, Scott managed budgets of as much as $1.2 billion and investment portfolios of as much as $500 million and successfully navigated these agencies through the financial challenges of the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic.

When you work with Scott, you can expect an approach that focuses on your specific needs and the unique attributes of your organization. While financial concepts and practices are often similar from agency to agency, no two clients are the same. Scott provides each client with recommendations and results that are specific to their situation and measurable against their desired outcomes.

Outside of work, Scott enjoys hiking the wooded trails near his home and cheering for his sons at their football and basketball games.
