Bradley Stooksbury, CPA
Senior Relationship Manager

Personal Formation and Forte

An East Tennessee native, Bradley joined Burkhart & Company after successful internships with the firm and an Atlanta-based global broadcasting company. Bradley received both his Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting with highest honors and his Master of Accountancy degree with a concentration in taxation from the University of Tennessee. 

If the firm was a jazz band, Bradley would surely be the percussionist, keeping the beat and setting the tempo. He plays an integral role in leading process design and software integration for his team. Bradley is willing to tackle virtually anything with minimal fanfare and efficient execution. His colleagues esteem him for his servant leadership and are humored by his well-themed theatrics and costumed characters.
