Keely Gohl obtained her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Accountancy from the University of Denver. The first 14 years of her career were with KPMG – 11 years in the audit practice and three years in the National Industry Learning & Development office. After working at KPMG, Keely decided to use her experience to give back to organizations who had helped her along the way. She served at the University of Denver,  Denver Dumb Friends League, and at a local church. Her service in not-for-profits helped her realize that many organizations need the expertise of a CPA but may not always have the resources they need to employ one full-time. This led her to form her own consulting business, Favor Financial LLC.  In addition to running her own firm, she develops and instructs executive education courses for the Colorado Society of CPAs, the University of Denver Daniel’s College of Business, and CPA Crossings LLC.
