Robyn Hunter

Robyn is an Audit Partner at PwC, where she provides audit and accounting services primarily to aerospace and defense, industrial manufacturing, and technology companies in the public and private sectors. Within this role, she works with clients of varying sizes within the Northeast, ranging from some of PwC’s largest global clients to private companies contemplating a future transaction in the capital markets.
What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?
When I was in high school, my dad suggested that I take accounting as an elective my sophomore year. I had an amazing teacher who made learning the subject fun. I can still hear him today – “You’ve got to have a debit, you’ve got to have a credit”! I still see Mr. Smith from time to time today, and I am very thankful for him (and my dad for pushing me!).
What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
There are many milestones throughout my career that have been building blocks for me, including passing the CPA Exam, earning my first promotion, celebrating a team member I coached earn their first promotion, etc. Most recently, I vividly remember the day I was admitted to the PwC partnership and sharing that professional achievement with my husband and two boys. I have always told them that they are my rocks, and I wouldn’t be as successful without their continued support.
What is your next major goal?
I love working with clients. My goal is to find new opportunities to work on interesting projects where I can bring my experience to help solve challenging problems.
What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?
I love spending time with my husband on the sidelines watching my two boys (ages 13 and 11) play baseball. When the weekends are free of baseball, you will find me on the golf course with my family or out for a run.
