Meet  Sarah A. Treese, CPA – CTCPA Women's Awards Winner – Experienced Leader

What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?
My high school accounting teacher really inspired me by making accounting interesting and easy to understand. I’ve always enjoyed solving problems, so pursuing a career as a CPA felt like a great fit. It lets me use my problem-solving skills to help clients solve their complex tax issues.

What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?  
I’m proud to lead PwC Hartford’s Community Service Committee, where I help engage hundreds of employees in volunteerism and philanthropy that benefit Greater Hartford. As Board Chair, I successfully oversaw the merger of Mercy Housing and Shelter with My Sisters’ Place and continue to support as a Finance Committee member. I also serve as a Trustee and Finance Chair for the Connecticut Science Center, working to promote STEM education for thousands of children and families.

What is your next major goal?
I am excited to continue to grow and expand my leadership roles within PwC both locally and nationally and hope to one day serve as the Office Managing Partner of the PwC Hartford office, where I can continue to support our clients and build the next generation of CPAs.    

What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?  
I love spending time with my family, whether it’s taking family trips, cheering for my boys at sporting events, or simply relaxing at home. I also enjoy getting lost in a true-crime podcast while taking walks with our dog, Randall.
