MARLA HUMMEL
Partner
Grant Thornton
In a career spanning three decades and five cities, Marla Hummel has carved out a niche as a preeminent accounting leader. Her passion and knowledge of the nonprofit industry is remarkable — and has led her firm to rely upon Hummel for major clients across the country.
Hummel was asked to relocate to New York to take the lead on an account that was vital to her firm’s not-for-profit practice. She was also asked to help open the firm’s Phoenix office, which was the first time Grant Thornton opened an office in a new market without acquiring another firm. Finally, Hummel’s expertise brought her to Los Angeles, where she has used her nonprofit and government knowledge to continue landing and supporting major clients. She has used her ever-expanding skill set to make a difference for not-for-profit clients across the country.
