About Miriam Waigand
Certified Public Accountant · 15+ years across public accounting, corporate finance, and outsourced accounting
I'm a Certified Public Accountant with over 15 years of experience across public accounting, corporate finance, and outsourced accounting.
I started at CohnReznick, a top public accounting firm, auditing nonprofits, real estate entities, and tax credit funds — work that taught me what auditors actually look for and how to build books that hold up under scrutiny. From there, I moved into industry, eventually becoming assistant controller at a healthcare technology startup, where I built out the accounting function as the company scaled from $7M to $30M in revenue.
With experience as a partner at an outsourced accounting firm, I've done exactly the kind of work I offer here — and I sit on the board of a wildlife conservation nonprofit myself, so I understand nonprofit finances from the inside, not just as an outside provider.
Today, I focus on three kinds of clients:
Nonprofits
Who need books they can stand behind at audit or board review, plus grant and reserve reporting.
Learn more →Government contractors
Who need a chart of accounts, cost tracking, and timekeeping set up the way federal work requires.
Learn more →Small businesses
Who need reliable bookkeeping and financial operations, and want to see which work is actually profitable.
Learn more →I'm a licensed CPA in Virginia and Maryland. I work remotely and paperlessly, so wherever you're based, we can work together without the back-and-forth of physical paperwork.
