She has 13 years of auditing, accounting and corporate taxation experience. Her areas of concentration include manufacturing, distribution, rental real estate and other professional service industries.

In addition to traditional financial statement engagements, Kelly has consulted with clients on other topics, including:

• Internal control studies, which identify control weaknesses in an organization and reduce errors and irregularities in the financial reporting process.
  
• Budgeting assistance, which allows an organization to monitor cash flows through the management of revenue and expenditures.
  
• General consulting relating to the evaluation and improvement of monthly accounting procedures, which allows an entity to maximize efficiencies.

Kelly's responsibilities include supervising a staff of auditors, reviewing audit and accounting financial statement engagements, keeping staff up-to-date on recent technical pronouncements and assisting small business owners and managers with day-to-day accounting and financial challenges.

Kelly helps implement and monitor the Brown Smith Wallace Audit Group business plan and is a member of the firm's Audit, Technical and Management committees.

A graduate of Southwest Missouri State University, Kelly holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting.
