“Becky Livingston has created a remarkable handbook that every accountant should have within arm’s reach. Today, every company is a “technology” company. An Accounting Firm is no exception! It is one thing to “DO” social media, but this book will guide the accountant through not just “DOING” social media, but having quality social media interaction and leveraging the power of this platform to help propel their professional reputation and practice to the next level.”

– Jim Bourke, CPA, CITP, CFF, CGMA, Partner, WithumSmith+Brown,

“This is a great step-by-step guide for establishing social media goals and determining what platforms will help you achieve them. It flows between providing spot-on educational information and serving as a workbook that walks you through exercises to help you understand how and when to communicate, how to measure success, ways to get staff to assist in your efforts, and much more. The solid examples and suggested tools provided will not only help those new to social media, but will assist those looking to increase their social media effectiveness, as well.”

She began her career as a computer programmer in the chemical engineering field, then moved into web development and online marketing–all of which has led her to this business. She’s got the experience, the acumen, and the connections! She’s also an author, blogger, and avid Twitter fan.

Her forte is big-picture thinking and strategic management of complex initiatives. But don’t let that scare you. Her technology background has taught her a great deal about project management and what it takes to make projects come to life.

For her, learning is key and sharing that learning is even more powerful. That’s why she attends several events, as well as speaks at conferences across the country ranging from CPA-related conferences and social media forums to non-profit groups and educational settings.

Not only is Becky hands-on and very active within the organization, but she also helps choose the vendors we work with to provide you with the best services possible.

Her corporate career expands non-profits, large companies, and CPA firms. She has supported businesses in the chemical engineering, dot com, and Big Four CPA firm (KPMG) areas. In her management roles, she has been able to bring complex ideas into reality while keeping an eye on the big picture. Becky’s ability to understand the details, to estimate the project timelines, and to see how each piece of the project can impact others is key to her success.
