Taylor MacDonald, CPA
I have accumulated a wide-variety of experiences in my fifteen years as an accountant. I started my career in tax where I finished my CPA licensure, then I worked for ten years helping to grow and scale startups in industries such as apparel, CPG, cannabis and professional services. Most recently, I spent five years as a Controller at Old Pal where I built the company’s general ledger and financial controls from its infancy to $30M in gross merchandise value.
As a Fractional Controller at Ascent CFO Solutions, I’m able to extend my experiences to clients, offering full-cycle accounting, and analytical decision-making, as well as tax, compliance and organizational best practices.
I was born and raised in Southern California and received a BA in Finance at Southern Methodist University. I’ve been a licensed CPA since 2017. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing my guitar and finding a new game of pickleball.
