The financial upgrade your
business is ready for.

For growing companies that need deeper
visibility, tighter oversight, and a team that

move your business forward, we make

What changes
when the financial
foundation is right.

Sound familiar?

  • You dread the question: "Can you send over the financials?

  • Your books are months behind, every single month

  • You’re forced to make big decisions based on your gut, because you have incomplete numbers

  • You're spending more time worrying about the accounting rather than building your business

After Brigade, our clients describe something completely different:

  • You can hand your financials to anyone, at any moment, with complete confidence.

  • You finally understand your numbers and actually use them to make 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. That's what Brigade is here for.

We handle the numbers.
You build the business.

Brigade is not a bookkeeping service.

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 because she’d seen firsthand what it looked like when business owners didn’t have the financial support they needed, and what became possible when they did.

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.

I brought Brigade on in 2009, and they helped us build the financial infrastructure that supported everything that came after. They show up, they know your business, and they're always one step ahead. The partners you choose define the business you build. Brigade has been one of the most important decisions I've made for Sudsies.
