Carrie is the CEO and Founder of CD Bradshaw & Associates, P.C. She is passionate about delivering financial solutions that empower our clients to win at the game of business. As a relationship driven CPA, she believes clients deserve more than compliance and provides clear guidance, practical solutions, and confident decision support for businesses, especially in the construction industry.

Carrie’s interest in accounting sprang out of her competitive nature. She enrolled in Accounting in high school for that “Easy A” to add to her GPA. Little did she know she would fall in love with the logical, puzzle-like nature of accounting and find her life’s passion in helping others. She graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a Bachelor of Business Administration and a concentration in accounting in 1995 and began her career with a regional public accounting firm in 1997, where she was a shareholder for 12 years. Carrie holds her CPA license in the State of Texas and is a Certified Construction Industry Financial Professional (CCIFP).

Her background includes all facets of public accounting, including tax preparation, planning, financial statement audits, and business advisory services.

In January, 2017, Carrie and her team started the firm of CD Bradshaw & Associates, P.C. in a spin off from her previous employer. The team chose to start a new firm to allow them the opportunity to expand the level of serving the unique needs of clients in their targeted niches. That commitment to agility, clarity, and client-focused guidance reflects the heart of how CDBA chooses to do more, building authentic relationships and supporting confident, intentional decision-making.

Carrie has 30+ years of experience providing public accounting services to small businesses, with a focus on the construction industry.  She is committed to empowering the Central Texas Community through education.  One of the many ways she does this is facilitating Profit Mastery workshops for the business owners in the area several times a year.  Profit Mastery teaches the art of financial storytelling to attendees along with maximizing profit increasing cash flow and funding enterprise growth initiatives.

When she is away from the office, Carrie enjoys life on the open road. After raising two children,  Carrie and her husband, Jason, discovered a shared passion for cross country touring on Harley Davidson Motorcycles. They even bought each other bikes for Valentine’s Day in February, 2023 and now spend most weekends logging miles with their community of fellow riders.  If she is not on the bike, she is at car shows with her parents showing off their 1969 Camaro.
