Amy Studt

Controller, Client Accounting & Advisory

Don’t stay comfortable

Amy’s family plans vacations by literally drawing destinations from a hat, which tells you everything you need to know about her approach to life: "Don't stay comfortable, accept challenges."

The Cincinnati native has spent her career putting that philosophy to work, helping entrepreneurs build their dream from the ground up, whether that's a restaurant, retail shop, or startup. Amy is equally comfortable teaching accounting to new employees as she is untangling the financial mess of a growing business.

Outside the office, she collects an ornament from every place she travels and is the Treasurer of the Westwood Town Hall District Business Association. Every Christmas, those ornaments tell the story of where Amy and her family have been willing to go.
