ChangeMakers: Kyle Allen - Music City, millennials, and making opportunities for top talent

As Vaco Nashville’s Managing Partner, Kyle Allen oversees their Music City team and its day-to-day operations. He puts his heart and soul into making sure every one of their corporate clients gets the attention and service they promise and then some. He believes – and exemplifies- the idea that you don’t gain clients when everything is going great; it’s when you rush in to handle a crisis that you’re truly of service. He also plays a hands-on role in placing rockstar consultants in Accounting and Corporate Finance projects.

Kyle is a self-described “recovering” Certified Public Accountant, having started his career with the Nashville office of Ernst & Young. In 2012, Vaco made the brilliant decision to recruit him, and it’s been a match made in heaven ever since. He took the reins as managing partner in 2017 following years of dedicated effort and measurable success for their clients.

A Murfreesboro, Tennessee native, Kyle earned both his B.S. in Accounting-cum laude and Masters of Accountancy from the University of Tennessee- Knoxville.  He is actively involved with several community organizations, sitting on the board of directors for both Safe Haven Family Shelter and Association for Capital Growth (ACG). He volunteers his time at Fellowship Bible Church, is an active member of the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants, coaches a variety of youth sports, and dreams of someday breaking par in golf. Kyle and his wife Courtney have put down roots in Brentwood, TN, and miraculously keep up with the sports scheduling matrix for their three children, Paxton, Caitlin, and Blake.
