Financials & Footlights: BryMar CPA Celebrates Its Nonprofit Partnership Under the Stars

Act I: The Curtain Rises on a Magical Evening 

It was a perfect Sonoma County evening—warm, golden, and full of promise. The kind of evening where anything feels possible. As the sun dipped low and the stars began to twinkle, Jill from BryMar CPA took her seat among fellow patrons, board members, and theater lovers, ready to be swept away by Transcendence Theatre Company’s Broadway Under the Stars. 

From the moment Jill arrived, it was clear—this wasn’t just an event. It was a production, in every sense of the word. Hosted outdoors in a stunning natural amphitheater, the stage was set for magic. 

Act II: A Client in the Spotlight 

At BryMar CPA, we’re fortunate to work with extraordinary organizations, and Transcendence Theatre Company is one of them. As a nonprofit client, they’ve impressed us with their artistic excellence, operational professionalism, and deep commitment to community. 

Founded with the mission to create joy and transformation through the performing arts, Transcendence isn’t just about great shows. They use their stage to uplift, educate, and inspire—whether through youth outreach, local engagement, or powerful storytelling. 

That’s why being part of their story, even for a night, meant so much to our teammate. 

Act III: A Personal Encore 

For Jill, the performance sparked more than applause—it ignited nostalgia. 

“Ever since childhood, I’ve adored musical theatre,” Jill shared. “I’ve been lucky to see many shows on Broadway during my East Coast days, and this brought it all rushing back. The atmosphere was electric. The talent was breathtaking. When the show ended, all I wanted was to rewind and experience it again.” 

And that joy was contagious. Volunteers greeted guests with warm smiles and T-shirts declaring: “Best Night Ever.” Jill couldn’t agree more. 

Act IV: In the Gold Lounge—With Board Members & Big Dreams 

The evening included more than just music and magic—it included meaningful connections. Jill had the chance to share a delicious dinner in the Gold Lounge, reconnecting with Andrew, a dedicated board member BryMar worked closely with during the audit, and getting to know Gerry, another vibrant voice on the board. 

These face-to-face moments, surrounded by great food and even greater conversation, are part of what makes our work so fulfilling. It’s about more than audits and numbers—it’s about shared vision, trust, and partnership. 

Finale: Standing Ovation for Transcendence 

Transcendence Theatre Company isn’t just putting on shows—they’re creating unforgettable experiences that move hearts and bring people together. From their breathtaking wine country venues to their unwavering commitment to youth and community programs, everything they do is infused with purpose and passion. Their board members and volunteers don’t just support the mission—they live it, bringing energy, warmth, and heart to every performance and every encounter. The organization’s dedication to transforming lives through the performing arts is evident in every note sung and every story shared on stage. For all of us at BryMar CPA, it’s an honor to support their mission behind the scenes—helping to keep their financials healthy so they can keep inspiring the world.  Congratulations to Transcendence Theatre Company on a spectacular evening—here’s to many more magical nights under the stars!
