Marie Carlie is such a nice person. That might not be what you think about when you hear that she is a Tax Partner for a major firm, but she brings an entrepreneurial spirit to BDO. I first met Marie when she was mentoring startups and leading the Missouri Venture Forum (now simply MVF). I sat down with her to learn more about her exciting career, her passion for supporting the innovation community, and the resources available when part of a large firm.
