“To work directly with my clients year-round as their trusted business advisor.”

Patty joined RBC in 2020 when she came on board as Director of the Audit Department. She brings nearly 20 years of experience in public accounting to this role. She assists with all things impacting the assurance roles of the firm, including training, mentoring, hiring, scheduling, networking, and client relations. Patty has had a vast background in various industries during her career, which allows her to relate to her clients’ business needs. She currently specializes in working with non-profits, including public charities, private foundations, churches, religious organizations, and trade associations, as well as construction, real estate, and retail clients.

Patty was initially drawn to accounting due to her love of math and found as she took her first accounting courses, the work came to her naturally. Today, she is motivated to use her expertise to help people! Her favorite part is being a trusted advisor to her clients and meeting them where their needs are. Translating accounting in ways her clients can understand, and being included in strategic conversations with them, is the reason Patty loves public accounting.

Patty was born in Alabama but has lived in Texas since 4th grade and considers San Antonio her hometown. She grew up as one of eight children, where she learned the important things in life: work hard, pray harder, and treat others as you would want to be treated. Patty now has three grown children of her own! In her free time, she enjoys all things family, dancing, traveling, reading, concerts, and community service. Patty was honored to be named CYO Coach of the Year for the city of San Antonio when she coached her daughter’s fourth-grade volleyball team to an undefeated season, winning the city championship.
