Amy L. Chute, CPA, MBA

Like many, I found myself reassessing my priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic; I realized that I want to focus on the most satisfying and meaningful work possible. I launched Bridge Accounting Services, LLC, to empower select service professionals to make your businesses resilient and secure for the next unexpected crisis, thus enabling you to fully focus on your own work.

With twenty-five years of professional experience spanning three careers, my business perspectives are broad and diverse, with roles in research and development, sales and marketing, and finally accounting and tax. I’ve joined organizations ranging from a four-person practice to a multinational member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I’m a life-long learner who embraces change and growth, earning three master’s degrees while working full-time.

Nearly all of my accounting career has been spent in public practice. As an auditor at a regional firm, I worked on dozens of engagements including a multi-specialty physician practice, a hospital, and a research laboratory. Working at a boutique tax firm, I assisted hundreds of small businesses and their owners with tax preparation and related services. During my career in pharmaceutical sales, I became immersed in the highly-regulated business of healthcare at both the hospital and practice level. My first career was in research and development in biotechnology, working primarily at a small manufacturer. My industry experience and knowledge enable me to better serve these specialties.

I live in southern Maine with my wife and our two dogs. A Maine native, I enjoy spending time “upta camp” on a remote lake in the Western Maine mountains with family and friends.
