About Shawn Bean
I got close to leaving the tax industry because of how it’s traditionally run. For a lot of professionals (and taxpayers), it feels like an industry built on burnout and last-minute scrambles.I’m committed to changing that.Today, I lead a team of 10+ tax professionals at Nimbl, including offshore teammates. We’re rebuilding the tax experience from the inside out (for the people doing the work, and the people relying on it.)Here’s the truth: tax sits on the sidelines… until it’s suddenly catapulted into the front and center of your life.We think the experience can be way better. Less like a fire drillLess like an obligation you dreadLess scrambling on April 14th at 11:47 p.m.More human. Easier. More like a (good) conversation you actually… want to have!If you’re in the industry and feeling the weight of it - please reach out. We’re building things differently for our 450+ tax clients at Nimbl and you could be part of that shift.And, if you’re a business owner who still thinks tax professionals are like Kevin or Stanley from The Office… we should definitely talk.Outside of work, I’m a dad of four. I sing (just not in public), play piano, shoot hoops, and take board games a little too seriously (Castles of Burgundy or Wingspan, if you’re wondering).
