Karla Brannen, principal at Brannen CPA Services, shows that accounting is as much about insight and problem-solving as it is about numbers. A native of Maine's Aroostook County and graduate of Thomas College, Karla has built a thriving firm grounded in expertise and a deep understanding of her clients’ unique situations. In this Radio Maine interview, she shares how no two tax returns are ever quite the same, and how careful interpretation, judgment, and experience are essential to finding the best path forward for each client. Karla also reflects on her bold decision to leave a traditional firm and launch her own practice—bringing fresh ideas and a personal touch to every aspect of her work, from welcoming office design to her strong ties with the Portland Art Gallery. It’s a thoughtful look at how accounting can be both precise and personal. Join our conversation with Karla Brannen today on Radio Maine—and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel.
