Brenda Keomany is living proof that authentic leadership is about rising through difficulty, growing stronger, and helping others do the same.
Over a period of six years, Brenda faced a cascade of profound challenges: she lost her mother-in-law; who was like a mother to her and lived with the family for 19 years, as is customary in her late husband’s Khmu tribe, the passing of her father, and supported her husband through a long illness, ultimately becoming widowed at 46 while raising a teenage daughter.
In the midst of these hardships, Brenda returned to Oregon after being away for 24 years. She left behind her established support network to start over, rebuilding her community from scratch and re-establishing her business in a new landscape. Through each upheaval, Brenda chose resilience, adaptability, and growth over resignation.

She and her team partner with clients to create practical workflows and accounting systems that tell the story of their businesses, empowering them to use financial insights for stronger and more strategic decisions. Brenda believes accounting is not just about compliance but about clarity and opportunity.
What sets Brenda apart is her ability to turn adversity into empathy and deep expertise. She guides her family, her team, and her clients through change, complexity, and opportunity, while never losing sight of the importance of community and connection.
Brenda’s talks go beyond inspiration. She offers actionable guidance on building resilience and forging genuine connections, even when rebuilding from the ground up. When you hear Brenda speak, you experience wisdom forged in real life, with practical lessons any business or team can use to thrive, no matter the circumstances.
