Kevin Stewart started his career with a position as an Experienced Senior at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he stayed for six years before briefly working at Grant Thorton and ultimately transitioning to Walmart.

Kevin started in Internal Auditing, then moved to Real Estate Finance, and finally moved again to Financial Shared Services. After five years, Kevin became a Senior Manager at Sam’s Club, directing a special project with a goal of rolling out a new area of business from the accounting side.



After his time with Walmart, Kevin worked as an Assistant Controller for Charming Charlie, the large women’s accessory retailer company. Kevin had a three-year stint back at Grant Thorton doing auditing but realized that his career goals were not aligned with the position he currently held.
