David Porter, CPA/CMA/CGMA is this week’s guest on Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast!
“What’s the toughest major?”
As you are going to hear from the audio interview, David has built his career by never shying away from a challenge. In fact, that willingness to accept a challenge started early in his career when deciding what to choose as a major in college. He asked his advisor what the toughest major was in the business school, and accounting was the response… so he chose accounting.
Staying curious & helping organizations improve
David’s career started along a common path, working at a CPA firm for a few years until moving out into industry. However, by staying curious, asking questions, and offering to help be a part of the solution, he was afforded opportunities to work in adjacent areas in roles such as the VP of Business Process at Cessna, VP Human Resources at Harland Clarke, and shorter-term positions as CFO and CEO at a few venture-capital backed organizations.
“Hanging out the shingle”
After many years leading organization through process improvement and change management initiatives, David decided to start his own consulting practice – David Porter Advisors. He focuses on executive level coaching, with some team coaching mixed in as appropriate. He consults with his clients on their people, processes, and key performance indicators (KPIs).

We will see you next week! Stay tuned – there’s more to come…
