Before taking on her new leadership role, she worked on the state and local tax committees. Kaigler’s journey in the accounting world started over 15 years ago as a way to care for her son. She’s proud of herself for not letting her struggles or challenges stop her from chasing her dreams and creating a legacy.
“I encourage my son to also enter the accounting profession. He is three years post-grad and he is an accountant as well. So just creating this family legacy of accountants is, I think, is remarkable in itself,” Kaigler said.
She is also a Capital Region 500 winner. Kaigler said although awards aren’t everything, she wants the next generation to know that success is attainable.
“It’s important too for individuals to see where you are today. But I think it’s most important for people to know where you started because it’s truly, it’s truly a long-distance race,” Kaigler said.
Kaigler’s mission is to show students there are endless opportunities under the accounting umbrella. She travels statewide to speak to college students in accounting courses and young kids grades K-12.
“All of those teachable moments and mentors and people that inspire me. I’m glad to be in to be able to pay that forward and inspire others,” Kaigler said.
She said there’s room for everyone in the accounting world.
