Keiter Careers: Meet Julie Gustavsson, Partner and Chief Operating Officer

Our Firm was founded by a few entrepreneurial spirited accountants that leveraged their unique skills and interests to build what is now the largest, independent CPA Firm in Richmond, Virginia. We continue to embrace our founding partners entrepreneurial approach and offer personalized career paths based on individual skills, experience, and interests.

In this edition of Keiter Careers, we feature Julie Gustavsson, Keiter partner and chief operating officer. Julie combined her unique skill set, prior experience and strong work ethic to grow and shape her career at Keiter.

Julie’s career story is featured in the October 2016 issue of VSCPA News, “Security-Minded Gustavsson Uses CPA, IT Experience to Grow Career.” 

Excerpt:

…“It was something that I had not been looking for,” Gustavsson said. “I had really enjoyed being in IT consulting, having my own clients and working with them. But when the opportunity came up, I thought, ‘This is an amazing opportunity.’ It’s the first time I ever interviewed somewhere where I got back in my car, called my husband and said, ‘If I don’t get this, I feel like I’m missing out.’”

She added: “I’ve heard companies say that as they grow bigger, it’s harder to bob and weave, it’s harder to be entrepreneurial. But that spirit is still absolutely alive here. You have an idea? Go work it and we’ll support you and allow you to do that and see what happens.”
