Josh Spere, CPA*

Senior manager

I was born and raised in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains in West Bountiful, Utah. After finishing high school, I volunteered in Madagascar for two years and had the time of my life. Upon returning, I attended the University of Utah where I received my bachelor’s degree in accounting (and began my love affair with Ute’s football). After receiving my BS in accounting, I completed an internship with EY in Salt Lake City and enrolled at Weber State University where I received a master’s degree in accounting.

Upon completing of my master’s degree, I returned to EY as part of the assurance practice where I served both public and private companies from a range of industries including banking, private equity, and tech. While at EY, I enjoyed the variety of clients and experiences each engagement presented from technical accounting to control issues and the growth they each provided. After EY, my desire to be an advocate for my clients and to help solve their problems lead me to a consulting firm where I worked as part of their technical account and IPO services group. During my time there, I helped clients in the tech and biotech space implement new accounting standards (ASC 606 and ASC 842), prepare annual and quarterly filings, and complete financial information sections of Form S-1 filings. After my time in consulting, I worked as a controller for a tech start-up and then joined the FP&A team of a public company where I managed the budget and forecasting for the platform & content division.

Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my wife and our baby boy (family and friends are what I’m all about), skiing and hiking in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains, taking the occasional trip to the lake for some water skiing, enjoying music and playing guitar, watching Utah Utes’ football and Utah Jazz games, and rewatching episodes of Seinfeld (serenity now!).
