Staff Leadership
Wendi Brockwell
Chief Financial Officer
Wendi Brockwell has over 20 years of experience in accounting and financial leadership. Throughout her career, Wendi has focused on helping businesses achieve financial stability, sustainability, and implementation of technology in order to operate efficiently. Wendi has both an MBA and a Master of Science in Accounting with a Controllership specialization from Strayer University.
Wendi worked at a large regional accounting firm in Colonial Heights, Virginia. In this role, she was involved in financial statements, tax preparation, and consulting for several small and medium non-public entities in a variety of industries. Some of the industries in which she has experience include construction, realtors, developers, health care professionals, manufacturing/distribution, and transportation among others. In many instances, she worked with clients on the implementation of new technology or training on current technology in order to provide more accurate day to day information for the clients.
Wendi also served as an Adjunct Faculty member at a Virginia community college for 10 years. During this time, she was responsible for the preparation and instruction of classes for both degree-seeking and continuing education students.
Wendi subsequently took a position as Comptroller with a non-profit association in Florida. In this capacity, she was charged with managing the entire accounting team as well as reporting on financials to the Board of Directors. She was also charged with managing the relationship with the external accounting firm and the financial management of other entities created for additional business purposes. During her tenure, the association experienced tremendous growth.
Most recently, Wendi has provided CFO services to businesses in the Orlando area. These small to medium sized businesses may not have the budgets or the need for a full-time CFO, however, they flourish with the support of an outsourced CFO. “I truly enjoy working with privately owned businesses and non-profit organizations. My goal is to ensure businesses are receiving accurate and timely financial information so that the CEOs can make the best decisions for these entities.”
Wendi is thrilled to be joining the team at the Boys & Girls Club of Austin. “Everyone that I have spoken with at all levels of the organization has truly led me to believe this is where I need to be. The family environment and commitment of both the staff and the Board members show what a truly special team Misti Potter has created.”
Wendi has a passion for sports and fitness and is a Peloton cycling addict. She also enjoys working with youth through sports and feels that some of life’s greatest lessons can be learned through sports and the adversities faced in competition. Wendi has one adult son, Bradley, who lives in Florida with his labrador retriever, Bailey.
