After she graduated from Oregon State University, she began in the private industry, working for an international engineering and construction firm where she worked in project accounting and got to dive into the financial analytics of large construction projects. Haley joined Kernutt Stokes in 2007 with a plan of getting her CPA license and then returning to private industry.

Virtual accounting gives Haley and her team a front row seat to all of the day-to-day decisions being made by leaders of different businesses. She likes that she gets to be not only to be part of the Kernutt Stokes family but her clients as well.
