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.
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.
