Austen Sokolnik, CPA*
Manager
Originally from Austin (Texas), I attended Texas Tech University where I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Accounting. After graduating, I moved to the DFW area and began my career within KPMG’s audit practice. Working at KPMG for nearly five years, I served clients (both public and private) in the retail, technology, and hospitality industries. During my time, I developed experience surrounding SOX, various technical topics, financial reporting, among other areas. I also had the opportunity to lead engagements for multiple years where I collaborated with engagement team members and client personnel to resolve accounting issues and audit findings.
Through my time with KPMG, I learned the importance of delivering client service and building relationships. This ultimately led me to Embark, where I look forward to help businesses create impactful solutions for their everyday challenges/issues.
In my spare-time I enjoy being active (golf, hiking, soccer), indulging at restaurants, and spending time with friends/family.
