About Brent


I am from Northern Utah and have spent most of my life here. When I was young we lived in Oklahoma for a short time and I also had the opportunity to live out of the country for a couple of years. I attended the University of Utah for both my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Accounting. I completed the steps to become licensed as a CPA shortly after. When I'm not working I will spend most of my time with my family and like to go mountain biking, golfing, hiking, hunting, target shooting, doing archery, camping, weightlifting and playing sports. I am married to a wonderful woman and am a father of twins. 

I have worked at Bement & Company since 2008 as an accountant preparing all types of tax returns (corporate, partnership, LLC, individual, trust, estate, gift, sales), doing book keeping, monthly accounting, account reconciliations, journal entries, helping clients with IRS matters, as well as tax and business planning, and audit, compilation and review work. 

I am also able to work weekly with kids at Hopeful Beginnings as part of the Respite Program. I've been a respite provider in different organizations in the Salt Lake Valley since 2008. This is something I enjoy doing and hope to have a positive influence on the kids I work with.

Specialties: Individual and business tax preparation. Part of an auditing, book-keeping, accounting and consulting services CPA firm. Prepare monthly, quarterly, and year-end journal entries. Monthly accounting. Monthly reconciliation. Individual, partnership, and corporate tax preparation.



Experience

CPA

Bement and Company, P.C.
North Salt Lake, UT
I help individuals and business owners keep the headache out of running a business, managing finances, and doing taxes. There is a lot to running a business and we help simplify things by taking care of the many complications involved with taxes, business and tax planning, accounting, payroll, reporting, etc. I prepare all types of tax returns including corporate, S-corp, partnership, LLC, individual, trust, estate, gift and sales tax returns. I also assist with book keeping, monthly accounting, account reconciliations, journal entries, IRS matters, tax and business planning, and audit, compilation and review work. I am proficient in many of the accounting and tax software programs.

Some of the experience I have gained involves working with Owner/Operators in the restaurant industry who are a part of a network of large multi-franchise chain restaurants. Some of my clients also have large portfolios of rental real estate who we help with basic accounting and tax planning and preparation. We also provide our tax and professional services to doctors, dentists, pilots, contractors, authors, online retail stores, multi-level marketing entities, and many other business owners, self-employed individuals, and investors.
