About Mary K. Shekhawat, CPA
Big Firm Expertise. Personal Partner Attention.
With over 21 years of experience navigating the complexities of the financial landscape, I founded Shekhawat CPA LLC to provide business owners and individuals with a higher standard of financial clarity.
My career has been defined by a commitment to precision and a passion for "solving the puzzle" of taxation and accounting. Before launching my own firm, I spent over a decade at Deloitte in Houston and New York City, rising to the level of Tax Manager. I then transitioned into the private sector as a Vice President at BNY Mellon, where I gained invaluable "inside-out" perspective on corporate finance and institutional reporting.
Today, I leverage that high-level experience—traditionally reserved for the world’s largest corporations—to serve small businesses and individuals who deserve that same level of strategic oversight.
My Approach: Clarity Through Complexity
I believe that every set of books tells a story. My job is to ensure that story is accurate, compliant, and optimized for growth. Whether I am performing a year-round "books-to-tax" close or a precise year-end filing, I treat your financial data with the scientific rigor I developed during my 21 years in public and private accounting.
I don’t just record transactions; I provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing an expert is watching your bottom line.
Credentials & Education
Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
Enrolled Agent (EA)
Master of Professional Accounting (Tax) – University of Texas at Austin
Bachelor of Business Administration (Accounting) – University of Texas at Austin
Beyond the Ledger
While I thrive on the intellectual stimulation of tax law and financial analysis, I believe in building real relationships with my clients. I am a native Texan who spent many years in the fast-paced New York financial world, giving me a unique blend of "Texas friendly" service and "New York efficient" results.
When I’m not at my desk, you can usually find me immersed in a new book, enjoying a movie, or focused on a crafting project—hobbies that, much like accounting, require a keen eye for detail and a love for the creative process.
