Brittnee Scott MAcc on Life, Lessons & Legacy

Brittnee Scott MAcc shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Hi Brittnee, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned about your customers?
One of the most surprising things I’ve learned about my customers is that it’s rarely about the numbers. Sure, they come to me for job costing, payroll, and clean books but underneath all that, they really want clarity. They want to stop feeling like their business is running them. They want fewer surprises, fewer fires, and more nights where they can actually close the laptop before midnight. Usually, the spreadsheets are just the surface. What I really end up fixing are the systems, the stress, and the stories they tell themselves about money and what it means to their business.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Brittnee L. Scott, MAcc, founder of ProjectLedger Solutions, an accounting firm that helps business owners and finance teams turn messy books into clear, confident decisions. We specialize in job costing, payroll, and streamlined workflows that keep businesses profitable and stress-free.

What makes us different is we don’t just manage numbers; we make them make sense. I started ProjectLedger to give owners and partners the structure and insight they need without the chaos that usually comes with “fixing the books.”

Right now, we’re focused on building strong partnerships with CPAs and CFOs who need reliable, behind-the-scenes support to serve their clients better.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
I know a lot about this one LOL! In my eyes, what breaks the bonds between people isn’t usually one big moment. It’s the small cracks in the vase, the missed communication, the unspoken expectations, the times someone didn’t feel seen or heard. It’s the buildup of “we’ll talk about it later” that quietly turns into distance.

On the same side of a different coin, restoring those bonds is just as small and steady. It takes time to put the vase back together, with honest conversations. Taking responsibility. Choosing to show up even when it’s uncomfortable. Grace when someone’s still learning. Relationships, whether in business, family, or faith, don’t fall apart overnight, and they don’t heal that way either. And while the vase may never look the same, those chips are forever, it will be whole again.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Oh yes! It seems like every single day! There have been so many times that I have built an entire idea out, social media strategy, landing page, marketing scheme, SEO optimization only to be met with crickets. No clicks. No calls. Nothing but me clicking away at the refresh on my screen! And in those moments, it’s hard not to wonder, “Do I really have what it takes?”, “Are my services even good enough?”

But I’ve learned that silence doesn’t always mean failure. Sometimes it’s just the pause before alignment, that space where you refine, rethink, and rebuild. Every quiet season has taught me something about what actually connects with people, what doesn’t, and what I’m willing to keep showing up for.

I’ll end with this, if you feel like giving up today tell yourself you’ll give up tomorrow.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
When I think about people I admire for their character and not their power, it’s my daughters, hands down. They’re not in positions of power (yet), but the strength they carry already pushes them toward becoming women who will lead with integrity, not ego.

They love without hesitation, forgive faster than I do, and somehow find laughter in the middle of chaos. Their resilience shows up in the smallest moments and they remind me that real strength isn’t about authority; it’s about heart, grace, and consistency. Watching them grow has changed how I define success.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When I’m gone, I hope people say I did what God put me here to do That I showed up with purpose, served with integrity, and built something that outlived me. Through ProjectLedger and my financial literacy nonprofit, Good Cents, I want my legacy to be one of stewardship. Using my gifts to create structure, opportunity, and peace for others. If people remember me as someone who listened, helped, and left things better than I found them, that’s enough.
