Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 shared this🧠 While I don’t actually have the power to do this, I’d like to unofficially announce our company rebranding to LeBronWorks for the remainder of his 2 year contract!!! 🏀 Does YOUR finance team need a LeBron level talent for a 2 year contract? Did trusting the process on your ERP implementation also lead to some questionable outcomes? 😂 Then give my BrainWorks Interim Accounting and Finance team a call!!! ☎️ Lets go Sixers!!! ***Shout out to Matt McGuire for txting me this idea, so blame him 🎯 Trent Reardon Aaron Francis, CPA Andy Miller Kartik Magnani Philadelphia 76ers Jon Levitt MaryJane Williams Todd Shiner Harley Morrill Laina McInerney Jasmine Martin Jessica Belisle

Human skills aren’t. In this clip from the KPMG podcast, Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠, VP and Interim Accounting & Finance National Practice Leader, shares why communication, trust, and real interpersonal connection could become even more valuable as AI blurs what’s real online. The professionals who stand out won’t just understand the tech—they'll know how to build relationships. 🎧Hear Bowen’s take in the clip below. #KPMG #Podcast #SoftSkills #Interpersonal #AI

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 shared this🐎 Fun fact: Other than a pony ride when I was a little kid, I’d never ridden a horse until last week! 🏔️ As a thank you for helping them in their move to beautiful Bend, Oregon, my brother and sister in law booked us a trail ride in Smith Rock State Park! 🪨 Since all my waking time is thinking of ways to get non ai slop LinkedIn content, I knew immediately what I wanted to post after they sent this photo. 🐴 My horse, with the wonderful name Cowgirl, was the epitome of perfection for a novice rider. Anticipated what I was asking her to do, incredibly responsive to sometimes unclear commands, and just the prettiest painted pony you could ask for. 💃🏼 Our mom’s horse, J. Lo was a little more opinionated about who was in charge and what the plan was. 🌳 She’d stop to munch on a tree when it was time to go, and keep on trotting when it was time to stop. It just goes to show that when you have the right people on the team underneath you (pun intended 😂) it makes you come across as a waaaay more effective leader. Weather in my world of sales or on the accounting and finance projects we staff with temps, it’s easy to look good when the folks doing the work make you look good! 🪞 BrainWorks Aaron Francis, CPA Andy Miller Trent Reardon Kartik Magnani Jessica Belisle Jasmine Martin Laina McInerney Harley Morrill Todd Shiner MaryJane Williams LinkedIn Jon Levitt

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 shared this🌎 Should my buddy have cut off my American flag socks in this photo? Probably not. 🧦 Should I have chosen a photo where it doesn’t look like I have literally no butt somehow? Yeah. 🦵 Was it still a blast watching the US Men’s National Team whoop on the aussies with a ton of fellow fans at McGregor Square? ⚽️ ABSOLUTLEY! Hope everyone else is enjoying this incredibly exciting FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States! 🏆 Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July!!! 🌎 🧨 🎇 And since I have to keep the branding strong: Pretend I have an accounting and finance temps related soccer and / or fireworks joke here… 🤣 BrainWorks Trent Reardon Aaron Francis, CPA Jessica Belisle Laina McInerney Kartik Magnani Jasmine Martin Harley Morrill Andy Miller MaryJane Williams Jon Levitt Todd Shiner

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 shared this🧠 Always a fun time getting to meet up with the BrainWorks crew for some in person action at the Hunt Scanlon Media Hiring in Private Equity event! Kelly and her panel KILLED it. 💀 No clue why this photo came out with haunted house lighting, haha. 👻 Also my first time ever getting to walk the length of Central Park, have brunch at Tavern on the Green, and check out The Museum of Modern Art! 🖼️ A full tourist in manhattan Saturday before flying home! 🙌🏻 Shout out to Harvard Club of New York City and Central Park Conservancy for keeping history alive and kicking in the big apple! 🍎 Aaron Francis, CPA Trent Reardon Jasmine Martin Jessica Belisle Cory Kyle Ashley Peretick MaryJane Williams Jon Levitt Steve Levitt Cathy Miller Olivia Hood

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 shared this🎂 The second best thing about turning 45 last week is the genuinely surprising number of people that lead with “ITS COLONOSCOPY TIME BABY” in their well wishes, haha. 🤣 💩 🎁 The BEST thing was this absolutely spot on bday card from my friend and fellow SuiteC Forum member Kirsten Benefiel! 🎉 If you’ve ever spoken to me, at all, for any amount of time, you know how true this is. 🤐 🌟 Special shout out to Bea Sonnendecker for putting together the Forum inside the already impactful SuiteC community. It’s been truly amazing! Getting to sit in a room with cross functional peers that consistently show up with a willingness to be vulnerable and challenge you has lead to insights and revelations Every. Damn. Time. ⏰ THANK YOU 🙏🏻 Ricardo Baca Chelle Johnson, ACC, MBA, MIM Eran Fraenkel Andy McPhillips, CPA Julie Lerner 🤗 BrainWorks Aaron Francis, CPA Trent Reardon Jasmine Martin Kartik Magnani Jessica Belisle Andy Miller Jon Levitt Todd Shiner 🟥

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 shared this🎂 When I turned 40, I had just moved to Colorado and it was the height of the pandemic so not much celebrating. To celebrate turning 45 today I’ve had a brutal bout of covid all weekend! 🤧 Outside being a whiny patient and fishing for bday well wishes, this is mostly an appreciation post about how amazing my interim accounting and finance team is! 💪🏼 I can confidently take the time to rest up and know they’re kicking ass (and likely getting more done without me being a distraction, 🤣)! Fun fact, I was also born on a Monday in 1981, one of the many reasons it’s my favorite day of the week!!! 🗓️ Thank you Aaron Francis, CPA Trent Reardon Jessica Belisle Kartik Magnani Jasmine Martin!!

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisBowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisA leader who screams has already lost control. Yelling may get fast action. But it also creates fear. And fear changes how people work. Employees stop asking questions. - They hide small mistakes. - They avoid sharing new ideas. - They agree even when something feels wrong. - They focus on staying safe instead of doing great work. That is how a loud boss slowly builds a silent team. Good leaders can be firm without being cruel. They can say: → Let’s talk about what went wrong. → This work is below the standard. → This mistake needs to be fixed. → I expect better next time. Clear words create accountability. Harsh words create shame. There is a big difference. Your title gives you authority. It does not give you permission to humiliate people. ✔️ Set high standards. ✔️ Give honest feedback. ✔️ Hold people responsible. But never take away their dignity. Leadership is shown in how you treat people when you are upset.

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisBowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisA great way to spend my first few weeks at BrainWorks! ✨ Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to join the team for our annual retreat in Orlando, and it was an incredible experience. Even being new to the company, I was welcomed right away and had the chance to connect with colleagues, learn from inspiring leaders, and experience firsthand the collaboration and culture that make BrainWorks such a special place. Beyond the meetings and professional development, it was great to spend time together outside of the office and celebrate the people behind the work we do every day. And of course, I couldn’t visit Orlando without making a stop at the Magic Kingdom! 🏰 #BrainWorks #TeamCulture #Leadership #Recruiting

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisBowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisLast night, I had the pleasure of attending the Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey Institute 35th Anniversary Celebration! This incredible program bridges my two passion areas—business and education—by immersing educators in the regional business community to better prepare students for the future workforce. This year felt especially personal. It was wonderful to reconnect with former colleagues and even see one of my own children’s former teachers in the cohort. Hearing their enthusiasm and seeing how eager they are to bring these real-world insights into their classrooms this fall was inspiring.

Somehow I survived 😏 This week, the entire BrainWorks team came together in Orlando for our annual retreat, and it was another reminder that great companies are built by great people - not just great results. Grateful to work alongside a team that's ambitious, supportive, and knows the importance of including the families who support us behind the scenes. Now it's Friday, my inbox is (mostly) under control, and I'm heading into the weekend grateful...and maybe a little tired😅 Hope everyone has a great weekend! P.S. I think we should make "strategy meetings at the driving range" a regular thing ⛳️ Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 Aaron Francis, CPA Trent Reardon Kartik Magnani Laina McInerney Jessica Belisle Harley Morrill #BrainWorks #WorkRetreat #TeamCulture #Recruiting #AccountingRecruiting #FinanceRecruiting #WorkLifeBalance

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisBowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisEvery year, we look forward to one special tradition—our annual BrainWorks retreat. ✨ This year’s retreat brought our team and 22 incredible kids to Orlando, where we spent time together at Disney, learned from inspiring leaders, and celebrated the people who make BrainWorks what it is. One of the things that makes BrainWorks different is that our families are part of the experience. Behind every placement, every client partnership, and every milestone is a support system that helps make it all possible. Taking time to recognize and celebrate them isn’t just a tradition—it's part of who we are. A huge thank you to Doug Phillip, CEO of Office Pride, and Mark Palterovich, CEO of Fuego Leads, for sharing your insights and challenging us to think bigger. Your keynote sessions made a lasting impact. As we head into the second half of the year, we’re grateful for the opportunity to reconnect, reflect on how far we’ve come, and remember why we do what we do. Here’s to another year of growing together! 🤝 #BrainWorks #Retreat #Orlando #TeamBuilding #Connection

Bowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisBowen Knarr Jr 🧠 liked thisI'm excited to share that I've joined National Philanthropic Trust as SVP of Marketing. What makes this role meaningful is the opportunity to work with a fantastic team at a firm that's so deeply committed to giving back and creating impact. I'm looking forward to helping tell NPT's story, elevate its impact, and support its continued growth as donor-advised funds become an increasingly important part of charitable giving.

The first naturalization ceremony they've ever held there, in honor of America's 250th anniversary. Nearly 300 of us from all over the world, taking the oath together. They honored each of our birth countries as part of the ceremony. It was emotional and a special day to be a small part of. A day I won't forget.
