Bee Nance
Bee Nance is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with over 15 years of professional experience in accounting, budgeting, and financial management. With expertise in non-profit accounting, she provides financial oversight to multi-million-dollar organizations while moonlighting as an Accounting Professor, accounting translator and published author.
Prior to The Better Angels Society, she was the Chief Operating Officer for Generation Teach where she managed the entire finance/accounting and administration process while overseeing the creation, development, and management of the agency’s budget. Under her tenure, the organization’s budget grew significantly, and the integrity of the financial position remained stable illustrated by six consecutive years of clean financial audits, including an A-133 Single Audit.
In 2021, Bee was selected as one of the 2020 top 50 women in accounting by Practice Ignition, and she was awarded the 40 under 40 black CPA award as a part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first Black CPA in America. Bee is also a recipient of the 2023 Young Leader Award by Texas Women’s Foundation.
Bee’s favorite quote is “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth!” by Muhammad Ali. Because of this, she remains an active member of her community and finds creative ways to give back often. Bee is a member of American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), serving on its Emerging Professionals Initiatives Committee (EPIC). Since 2017, Bee has been an adjunct accounting instructor at San Jacinto College. Her commitment to financial literacy and education also led her to author a children’s book entitled Sunny Gets Money. “Professor Nance – The Accounting Translator” is the title of Bee’s YouTube Page where she teaches accounting and supports future CPAs by creating content that current generations of accounting students can relate to and absorb in a fun, entertaining way.
Bee holds both a B.S. and M.S. in Accounting from NC A&T State University and University of Phoenix, respectively. She currently resides in Houston, TX with her family.
