Meet the Team
Stacy Doughty
Stacy is a registered CPA with over two decades of accounting experience. Upon graduation, Stacy worked at two of the Big 5 accounting firms where she worked on internal accounting and outsourced accounting for real estate clients across the United States. For the majority of her career, she worked at one of largest international law firms where she managed the monthly and annual close, created budgets and projections, reviewed reconciliations, worked with external auditors, and produced annual financial statements. Stacy was able to put all those skills together when working at a small business to provide them with accurate financial statements to make important decisions. It was at this point that Stacy realized how much small businesses need an accountant with strong skills to help their business become successful and she decided to create Longview Financial Services.
She is passionate about helping others succeed and to help lighten the workload of her clients by taking over the accounting function. When Stacy is not helping clients, she enjoys baking, traveling, reading, and watching her favorite players on the soccer fields and tennis courts.
