Scott is a Colorado Springs native. He studied music education and saxophone (and accounting, of course) at CSU before embarking as a band teacher.  After years of teaching, he left the traditional classroom to master the world of business and public accounting.  Scott served as account manager and tax specialist for new businesses, high-net worth families, and everything in between.  He has assisted with asset management, business planning and development, and defending clients in front of the IRS.  In 2021, Scott and Brian Werner hit it off after an introduction and ultimately determined their powers combined could create a larger impact on the small business community.  
 
Scott continues to practice with the heart of a teacher with small businesses and individuals alike – working to help them understand how they can use their accounting and tax planning as a powerful tool to help them reach their goals in both business and life! When Scott isn’t working with members or researching opportunities under new tax updates, he enjoys meeting new people in the community, spending time with family, and getting out with his ‘retirement age’ yellow lab, Aria.

We are thrilled to introduce you to our new tax guru, Kim Jones! Kim joined our firm in 2021 after moving here from Casper, Wyoming so her adorable and smart 9 year old grandson can attend the school for the Deaf and Blind. We knew from the first moment we connected with her, that she would be a wonderful asset for our clients.

Quick as a whip, full of crazy ideas, and a lot of laughs, Kim has been in the tax and accounting world for over 30 years and has a Master’s in Accounting. She grew up an Army brat, loves Disney collectibles and her guilty pleasure is Kraft Mac & Cheese. Kim is excited to make Colorado Springs her home and to call BRW Tax & Accounting and HR Branches her home. 

Angela has both a BSME and an MBA in technology management and spent sixteen years in financial insurance industries (basically she is a really smart cookie).

She has a background in IT Management at Progressive Insurance and ENT Federal Credit Union. Angela "AO" Otis is our efficiency expert (and previous HR Branches member) empowering our team at HR Branches and BRW Tax & Accounting to better serve our members and community! Her super powers are systems organization, automation, and comic relief.

In her spare time she enjoys gardening and yoga, and enjoying rustic adventures with her family and golden retrievers.
