Taylor Seymour

Manager
Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts (DOAA)

Taylor Seymour serves as a Manager I in the Financial Audits Division at the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts (DOAA). In her current role, she is responsible for conducting final reviews of financial audits for local Boards of Education, assisting with training for auditors, superintendents, board members, and finance personnel, and providing technical guidance and support on a variety of ongoing audit and reporting initiatives and tasks. 

In addition to her current responsibilities, Taylor contributes part of her time to DOAA's Audit Transformation Program (ATP), an initiative focused on reimagining the future of the Department's audit process. She has worked alongside project leadership, Caleb Deans, to engage auditors across the state, develop branded communications, and identify opportunities to incorporate data analytics into audits while maintaining a strong focus on both audit quality and stewardship of public resources. As the initiative continues to evolve, she supports a variety of strategic projects that help move the program forward.

Taylor has six years of experience in DOAA audits, during which she has led multiple local education agency audits and a state agency audit, and has served as a team member on college and university engagements. She has also performed a special examination of a local Board of Education. Prior to her current role, she served as a Chief Financial Officer for a local school board, where she gained valuable firsthand experience in daily financial operations, budgeting, and school district financial management-insight that continues to strengthen her audit perspective.

Taylor worked for three years in New York at 30 Rockefeller Center as a financial analyst and manager, where she supported budgeting and forecasting across NBCUniversal's portfolio, including the Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, TODAY, the Olympics, the Super Bowl, and more.

Taylor holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the Georgia Institute of Technology, graduating with more than 150 credit hours in accounting coursework.
