Your SPM&Co Team

Stephan has a sweet 16 years of experience working with closely held businesses. Instinctually, Stephan founded SPM & Co to extend his passion for growing a unique and distinctive experience for those on his team as well as each of his clients. This experiential environment was designed to produce first-class results that have a positive, long lasting impact on his clients, the community, and last but not least… his team members and their families.

Stephan focuses on working with his clients to provide them with the connected knowledge and tools to make confident, strategic decisions for their companies, thus bettering their long-term success. Given the current business climate, as challenging as it is, Stephan sees it as an opportunity to bring fresh ideas and creative solutions to his clients.

Stephan grew up spending summers on the Cape with his family until they eventually made it permanent. Settling into Harwich at the start of high school Stephan quickly immersed himself in the Cape lifestyle – complete with a rusty soft–top Jeep. After graduating as a Harwich High School Rough Rider, he joined the Navy and served 8 years as an Avionics Technician, completing 3 overseas deployments all on aircraft carriers – obviously saltwater runs through his veins. During this time Stephan also earned his degrees in Business Administration and Accounting & Finance. Upon his transition out of the Navy, Stephan started his career in public accounting working for a large CPA firm in Portland, Maine until his wife decided it would be best to move back to Cape Cod to raise their young family and dig their roots into the community where they would start an accounting and advisory firm that would help small business owners in the community thrive.

Stephan is highly involved in community endeavors on the Cape. He feels strongly about leaving a positive imprint on people’s lives both through professional and personal relationships, which is exemplified by his role on the Board of Directors for the Cape Cod Chamber and as President (Past) of the Board of Directors for the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce, as well as past and present participation in support of the YMCA of Cape Cod; Cape Kids Meals, WellStrong and the Cape Cod Challenger Club (to name a few).

Personally, as a husband and father of two, time with family is paramount. Whether it is early morning water skiing sessions with the kids, coaching just about every sport, cheering on the sidelines of every Monomoy High School field hockey game, or family hikes that magically always end at a brewery – making time for family is critical to having some semblance of balance and true happiness.

Barb joined Stephan P McMahon & Company as the Office Administrator in October of 2022.

She has more than 20 years of experience in client service, sales, marketing, and project management within a variety of verticals. Barb honed her organizational skills working as a Senior Account Director at an advertising agency, a Program Quality Coordinator in higher education, and as an Office Manager/Marketing Specialist in telecommunications. She has outstanding people skills and a knack for making clients feel comfortable.

In 2018, Barb moved to the Cape from Denver with her husband and two children to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, and to live where her family has been vacationing for decades. When she’s not multitasking for clients and the SPM&Co Accounting Team, you will find Barb running, hunting for bargains at the thrift store, or eating a hot fudge sundae at one of the local ice cream shops.

Brooke earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Western New England University. Prior to joining the SPM&Co team, Brooke’s work experience extends to working in the accounting office of a local small business before making the switch to public accounting.

Brooke’s background in payroll processing, bookkeeping, and preparation of tax returns along with her stellar internal and external client service skills allow her to contribute to a myriad of company functions supporting the SPM&Co team while ensuring our clients an excellent experience.

Outside of the office, Brooke enjoys traveling, playing sports, and taking her dog, Kona, on long walks by the beach.

Brian earned his bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in December of 2020. While attending school he was involved in extracurricular clubs like DECA which focuses on preparing emerging leaders and entrepreneurs to be career ready, and BAP (the honor society for accounting and finance) where he served as treasurer. This desire for professional development will continue to serve him well! As a recent college graduate, Brian is excited to start his accounting career at SPM&Co.

Brian grew up in the town of Pembroke and worked as a Foreman at a landscaping company for four years as he went through school. He has just recently moved to the Cape after spending time in the summers here. During his free time, he enjoys going on his family’s boat, traveling, hiking, and playing hockey.
