Nancy McClelland, a CPA in the Chicago area, joined us for this episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers podcast.  In this episode, we are going to cover many items, probably the most interesting being how she came up with the name for her practice – “The Dancing Accountant”!As you might expect, Nancy’s early background was in music.  Her mother was very creative, and her father was the more analytical one.  While in college, Nancy tried many majors, but eventually chose music.  She very early on landed a role in administration with an arts school, and realized that she also had talent inherited from her father as well – that of organization and analysis.  It was through combining both her creative side and analytical side that caused her to excel in accounting / administration roles with music-related companies.  It wasn’t long though until she realized that all small businesses have similar issues to that which she was encountering in the music world, and so she then decided to start her practice – Nancy McClelland LLC.  If you want to hear the full story of how she moved from that initial name for her practice to “The Dancing Accountant”, you’ll need to listen to the audio portion in order to her it from Nancy’s own lips.  It’s a very interesting story.To find out more about Nancy’s firm, please visit:  The Dancing AccountantIf you enjoy this episode, please also check out:  John Garrett and Ann Margaret JohnsonTo listen in on this interview with The Dancing Accountant, Nancy McClelland, please use the player below:

230:  Nancy McClelland – The Dancing Accountant!

"The Dancing Accountant" dishes on how she stands out to clients Nancy McClelland loves dancing so much, when she decided to start her own firm, she called it The Dancing Accountant, LLC. She shares some great insight into how opening up to her clients about her hobby makes her seem more human and less intimidating. Being a professional 1960's Go Go Dancer was something that Nancy had always wanted to try. Shortly after a milestone birthday, she realized that it was now or never, so she began taking classes in Chicago. Just four short months later, she was asked to join The Janes Go Go Troupe and began performing at events all over the city -- including at one of her client's venues!  Nancy graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education and went straight to work as the Business Manager at the Ann Arbor School of Performing Arts. Someone along the way gave her a CCH Tax Guide and that's when she realized she should get her Masters in Accounting, pass the CPA Exam and start her own firm.
