Windham Brannon, a leading provider of tax, audit and advisory services, has promoted Laura Berry to Principal at the firm.

Berry, who joined Windham Brannon ten years ago, previously served as Senior Manager of Tax, and leads the firm's Manufacturing and Logistics segment. Prior to Windham Brannon she was an accountant for Turner Broadcasting.

Berry holds the distinct honor as being one of the first participants selected in 2014 for Windham Brannon's Leadership Academy, a program where potential partner candidates are identified and put through a program that educates them on all aspects of running a CPA firm. She later came to be a mentor for the program in 2017 for future up-and-comers. In addition, every employee at the firm has his or her own personal Windham Brannon coach to help with developing individualized career paths, and Laura currently serves as a coach to two team members.

"Laura is the perfect example of how our Leadership Academy and mentoring programs successfully foster employees into future leaders," said Heidi LaMarca, Managing Partner, Windham Brannon. "I'm extremely proud of Laura's tenacity, growth and accomplishments, and I'm confident that she'll continue to provide valuable insights and service to our clients, the firm and future leaders at Windham Brannon."

Berry holds a BBA in Accounting/Finance, as well as a Master of Taxation, from Georgia State University. She's a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants, where she currently serves as chair of the Ethics Committee.
