From the humble beginnings of her laptop at a kitchen table to a thriving team of powerhouse women with a regional footprint, NextGen is transforming small businesses into empires.
In 2017, founder Cindy McGhee, CPA, set out to disrupt the tax and accounting industry. After 15 years working in global firms serving large corporations and multiplying the wealth of their owners, she realized the existing model ignored small and growing business owners. Discontent with business as usual, she created NextGen, a tech-forward CPA firm built for the NextGeneration of ultra-successful entrepreneurs.
Now, Cindy pairs over two decades of experience with a dynamic team of fellow CPAs, MBAs and attorneys to serve growing businesses throughout the region. with one goal in mind: Building your empire.
A new way to do taxes
we thought accounting needed an update
We needed to swing back into integrity.
Here at NextGen, we’re constantly looking for the NEXT RIGHT STEP. We’re all about getting you the best outcomes, but we’re also about playing by the rules. Financial management can be shady, and we don’t accept anything but the best here.
We needed to reevaluate the how.
Your time is precious and you do not need to waste your time commuting back and forth to our offices. Instead, we meet virtually, allowing you to keep your time for your clients and family, and making sure we’re as efficient as possible.
We needed to build a better team.
They say you’re most like the 5 people you spend the most time with; and we think that goes for the people you work with as well. So we built a team of brilliant women who are passionate about their work, clear communicators, and educated in accounting.
