basic bookkeeping and into reliable,

The financial upgrade your
business is ready for.

For growing companies that need deeper
visibility, tighter oversight, and a team that
can handle increasing complexity without
losing speed.

Scale

what’s next.

and strategic support.

Catalyst

events, investor due diligence, audits, or
other milestones. For the moments that
move your business forward, we make
sure the numbers are never the obstacle.

What changes
when the financial
foundation is right.

Sound familiar?

You dread the question: "Can you send over the financials?"
Your books are behind every month
You’ make big decisions based on gut instinct because your numbers are incomplete
You spend more time worrying about the books than building your business

After Brigade, clients describe something completely different:

You can hand your financials to anyone, at any moment, with complete confidence.
You finally understand your numbers and can use them to make strategic decisions.
You have a team that catches problems before you even know they exist.
You have more time, more clarity, and the freedom to focus on building your business.

The Good News: Every single one of these problems has a solution, and that's exactly what Brigade delivers.

We handle the numbers.
You build the business.

More than bookkeeping. Real financial partnership.

We are your trusted accounting partner, experienced, organized, and built to
integrate directly into your business. We bring the structure, systems, and
oversight that growing companies need, without the overhead or complexity
of building an in-house team.

Founded in 2008 by Elizabeth “Eli” Manso, CPA, Brigade was built around a
simple belief: business owners deserve a financial team that genuinely cares
about what they’re building.

One that tells you the truth. One that shows up before you have to ask.
One that cares about what you’re building as much as you do.

Meet Elizabeth.

The person behind Brigade.

Elizabeth ‘Eli’ Manso built Brigade after seeing firsthand what it looked like when business owners lacked the financial support they needed, and what became possible when they had it.

After reinventing her own career and building a firm from the ground up, Elizabeth created Brigade with a straightforward mission: to build the kind of accounting firm that business owners actually deserve.

One where the team handles the numbers, so the business owner can focus on building the business.

Real Results. Real Clients.

Here's what businesses like yours have to say about working with Brigade.

With only a month to clean up my 2025 books before my tax preparer's deadline, the team got everything organized and ready on time. I finally feel like my finances are in good hands.

outgrown your
current setup?

Most business owners don’t realize their accounting
infrastructure is holding them back until something goes
wrong; a delayed close, a failed financing request, a question they can’t answer.

problems.
