230: Nancy McClelland – The Dancing Accountant!

Where Accountants Go - The Accounting Careers Podcast

Nancy McClelland, a CPA in the Chicago area, joined us for this episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers podcast. In this episode, we are going to cover many items, probably the most interesting being how she came up with the name for her practice – “The Dancing Accountant”! As you might expect, Nancy’s early background was in music. Her mother was very creative, and her father was the more analytical one. While in college, Nancy tried many majors, but eventually chose music. She very early on landed a role in administration with an arts school, and realized that she also had talent inherited from her father as well – that of organization and analysis. It was through combining both her creative side and analytical side that caused her to excel in accounting / administration roles with music-related companies. It wasn’t long though until she realized that all small businesses have similar issues to that which she was encountering in the music world, and so she then decided to start her practice – Nancy McClelland LLC. If you want to hear the full story of how she moved from that initial name for her practice to “The Dancing Accountant”, you’ll need to listen to the audio portion in order to her it from Nancy’s own lips. It’s a very interesting story.
