Auditors Save the World! Matthew Grady

In this episode of Auditors Save the World, podcast host Leita Hart-Fanta, CPA interviews auditing superhero, Matthew Grady.

When financial chaos in a far away land reared its ugly head, Matthew became the unshakable sentinel of spreadsheets, the fearless crusader of compliance, the one and only… AUDIT-MAN! He’s a hero unlike any other! A master of math! A wizard of the ledger! A champion of fiscal justice!

Alongside a small team of forensic accountants, compliance enforcers, and financial sleuths, Audit-Man takes on the cases no one else can balance.

In this episode, our hero finds himself far from the safety of San Francisco. Audit-Man is on a distant tropical island, where disorder reigns, receipts vanish into the abyss, and balance sheets are mere whispers in the wind.

Sent on a top-secret mission for the feds, Audit-Man must pierce the fog of deception, reconstruct the records, and follow the money before overcharges consume the island whole!

Join us now for Matthew’s story of The Island of Lost Ledgers.

About Matthew Grady

The year was 1990. The Cold War had ended, and the Pacific Northwest was all the rage with the rise of Nirvana and the Grunge Rock scene. Meanwhile, in Northern California, Matthew Grady, a self-proclaimed bum, who had drifted aimlessly through much of his twenties had just graduated magna cum laude from San Jose State University with an accounting degree and taken an entry level position with the U.S. Justice Department, Office of the Inspector General.

Matthew’s somewhat circuitous path to City Auditor for the City of Killeen began with a 20-year stint in the Inspector General’s San Francisco Regional Audit Office, where he rose from junior auditor to Assistant Regional Audit Manager. He left the federal government after 20 years and ventured to the rocky shores of American Samoa, for a three-year tour as Comptroller of the American Samoa Government’s Treasury Department. Matthew’s return stateside included two brief, but fun-filled romps. First, as Audit Manager for the Clark County Washington Audit Office. And then as Senior Auditor for the Berkeley City Auditor before taking on the role of City Auditor for Killeen, Texas. He currently resides in Killeen with five cats.
