Brenda Cannon is a CPA and partner at Cannon & Associates, CPAs in Edmond, Oklahoma, who spent years living through the chaos of tax season before deciding to change it. After one year saw more than 100 clients drop off documents on a single day in March, she built the scheduling and workflow system that eventually became SchedulEase — and proved that a structured, balanced practice was possible. Brenda now leads Take Your Life Back, Tax Pro!, a community she created to give other accountants and tax professionals the peer support, practical tools, and real conversations she wished she'd had earlier. Her focus is simple: helping tax pros reclaim their time, protect their energy, and build a practice that works for them — not the other way around.
