ABOUT GREG KYTE
Greg Kyte is the G. Robert Newhart Non-value-added Fellow at VeraSage Institute.
In 2016 I started Exposure Drafts, a cartoon series for the accounting profession. My cartoons have been featured on GoingConcern.com, and I've created custom cartoons for Intuit and the Thriveal CPA Network. My cartoons are also available as holiday cards from RuBook Creative (rubookcreative.com).
I've been performing stand up comedy since 2002, and I've brought that experience, energy, and humor to the stage as the emcee for Xero's Xerocon and Thriveal's Deeper Weekend conference, and this October to Gusto's Gusto Next conference.
My experience as a comedian and as a teacher (I taught junior high math for ten years in a former life) have allowed me to create entertaining, engaging, NASBA-certified CPE content. Literally tens of thousands of CPAs have attended my fraud and behavioral ethics courses on the CPA Academy and Encoursa platforms. I've also created custom CPE content for Gusto and Xero.
I'm also a licensed CPA in the State of Utah where I'm the controller for a group of medical office buildings.
