Julie Killian

Shareholder, Advisory & Assurance

Julie Killian - International CPA

Julie leads the firm’s Advisory & Assurance practice and is known for providing her clients with great technical proficiency & understanding.

What is your area of focus?

I work closely with owners, controllers and bookkeepers of companies with operations in the United States, as well as international companies in Europe and South America. A former controller, I am now focused on the technical and compliance aspects of financial reporting which drives my work in assurance, including audits and reviews of traditional financial statements in various industries, and employee benefit plans. In addition, my clients look to me for other assurance services such as reviews of internal controls and performance reporting.

How long have you been at Clayton & McKervey?

I enjoy the energy and innovation from smart and talented coworkers, clients and business associates.
