Douglas R. Lovett
Shareholder
CPA
Background
It seems Doug Lovett was destined for accounting. One of four brothers (three of whom became CPAs), Doug has always demonstrated an affinity for anything logical, analytical, or practical – needless to say, accounting was a perfect fit. Beyond the family connection, accounting gives Doug the opportunity to be at the service of others. He loves being a resource for his clients, connecting them with sources of support both personally and professionally. Doug doesn’t mind taking his work out of the office, whether that means writing thought leadership pieces or teaching courses on financial management for auto dealerships. Putting himself in the role of “broker of services” comes from insight he gained as a younger professional, and is wisdom he readily shares with those he mentors. “What I truly enjoy is solving challenges for real people.”
