Mariann Lackey is more than a CPA — she’s a trusted business advisor, leadership coach, and strategic partner for leaders who want to grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

With an equal number of years spent in accounting and executive recruiting, Mariann brings a unique dual perspective: she understands both the financial engine that drives a business and the human capital that fuels it. Her background in headhunting for top talent gives her a keen understanding of what makes leaders and teams thrive, while her accounting and tax expertise ensures the business’s financial health supports its vision.

Mariann works with business owners not only to keep their numbers clean and compliant, but to use those numbers as a roadmap for better decision-making, stronger teams, and healthier, more sustainable growth. She helps leaders navigate the human side of business: building resilience, improving communication, attracting and retaining top talent, and aligning daily operations with long-term strategy.

Holding a master’s degree in Holistic Counseling & Leadership and training in the Energy Leadership™ model, Mariann integrates emotional intelligence, energy awareness, and leadership development into her advisory work. Her clients value her ability to see the whole picture — from the balance sheet to the boardroom, from strategic vision to team culture.

When she’s not advising clients, you can find Mariann by the ocean, exploring her love for photography, and spending time with her Labrador Retriever, Minnie — often using her as a four-legged co-coach in her leadership programs.
