My name is Ashley Early and I am an Audit Manager with Forvis Mazars with 5+ years of experience in public accounting focusing on nonprofit organization audits as well as 2.5 years as a Comptroller for a local nonprofit organization. I am also a graduate of LeadingEdge Class of 2020 and hold a leadership position as a Provisional Advisor in Junior League Fort Worth. In addition to various volunteer opportunities with the firm, I am also involved with the Humane Society of North Texas where I volunteer on a regular basis by walking dogs and working offsite events. I am a dog mom of three girls so this is something that has always meant a lot to me. While my main passion is for animals, I would have to say my second passion is children. I would like to use my voice to speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves. Educating children and making sure they have the proper health care and essentials they need is important for me. I am also passionate about organizations that assist with cancer and other life threatening illness cures as my mom is a breast cancer survivor. That is something that impacted my life greatly and I would love a chance to give back to someone else who is going through a similar situation. I also am passionate about other causes, such as: education, sports & recreation, veterans, homelessness, food & hunger, etc. My main goal is to get involved with an organization that I share their passion and to help that organization in their mission.
