Ally Kirkpatrick, CPA

Ally is a proud graduate of The University of Kansas, where she earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting. She’s always had an interest in business because it offered a versatile career path. It was a professor at KU who really made accounting click for her by breaking down the material in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. After joining Fortiviti, Ally quickly felt at home, enjoying the dynamic culture and the opportunity to work with a variety of clients and industries.

 

As a CPA, Ally is committed to staying involved in her field. She enjoys the challenges and opportunities that come with her work, always looking for ways to grow professionally and personally.

 

Outside of work, Ally loves spending time with her boyfriend, family, and friends. She’s an avid cook, always looking to try new foods and explore local restaurants. Lately, she’s been perfecting her sourdough bread baking skills, and while she doesn’t have a green thumb, she’s giving gardening a go with low-maintenance plants—her peppers and peas are growing strong! In her downtime, you can find Ally going for walks, playing card games (Kings Crown is a favorite), or enjoying a good book.
