Kayla Williams

I am a certified public accountant and audit professional with over a decade of experience in public accounting, currently serving as a Principal at Shipley & Williams CPAs, LLC, a role I stepped into in April 2026, where I lead audit engagements, provide strategic financial guidance, and serve clients across a range of industries.

Prior to this role, I served as Principal at Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd, LLC for four months, and before that, I spent over four years at BT&Co., P.A., where I served as Audit Principal for over a year and Audit Manager for three years, overseeing audit engagements, managing teams, and delivering high-quality assurance services to clients. I also served as Audit Manager at Adams Brown for ten months and as Supervisor at BT&Co., P.A. for six years in the Topeka, Kansas area, where I developed my foundation in audit and assurance.

Across my career in public accounting, my work has been driven by a commitment to accuracy, integrity, and helping organizations achieve financial transparency and accountability. Whether I am leading audit engagements, managing teams, or advising clients on financial matters, I bring strong analytical skills, a collaborative approach, and a dedication to excellence that supports my clients and their stakeholders. I am proud of the work I have done throughout my career and excited to continue serving clients as a principal at Shipley & Williams CPAs, LLC.
