Beth Quinlan

CPA
Senior Business Advisor
Smith + Howard Advisory LLC

Anyone can do the right thing when people are watching. But someone with true integrity will do the right thing when no one is watching or when it's the harder option. I believe that our firm consistently lives this value through our communications with clients and doing what's right - even if it's not the answer a client wants to hear.

Beth brings value to businesses and their owners through her focus on ensuring the day-to-day accounting services are finely tuned and allowing the business to pursue its goals.

Beth joined Smith + Howard in 2015 and is a Senior Business Advisor in our Business Development team. During her time with the firm, she has worked with clients across a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing and distribution, professional services, medical services, as well as nonprofit organizations. Beth has worked with clients on back-office accounting services, including bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, federal grant compliance reporting, and much more.

Prior to joining Smith + Howard, Beth was hands-on in the operations of her family’s local chain of pet food stores and national pet food distribution business with warehouses across the United States. It was here that she found her interest in accounting and decided to return to school for her Master of Business Administration degree. Beth also served as a consultant with an emphasis in marketing and management, where she focused on B2B communications for software companies and productivity and performance management for financial institution retail operations.

Beth received her Master of Business Administration from Georgia State University and earned her bachelor’s degree from Mississippi State University. She is a member of the Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
