We are pleased to announce that Scott Nelson, Retired EY Partner, has joined Blythe Global Advisors effective July 1, 2025.
Scott spent more than 30 years at Ernst & Young in the firm’s Assurance Practice. As an Audit Partner, he worked closely with global public and pre-IPO companies guiding them through IPO readiness, complex accounting matters, operational and financial reporting, and more. Scott brings decades of experience serving clients at all stages of growth, from entrepreneurial startups and VC/PE-backed companies to multinational public enterprises. He has coordinated and led global teams throughout Europe and Asia to address global accounting and reporting for US GAAP purposes and local statutory reporting purposes. Scott has been involved in numerous transactions over his career including initial public offerings, mergers, acquisitions, debt and equity financings and restructurings.
For more than 15 years, BGA has filled a critical gap between accounting firms, who must maintain independence, and the clients they serve. This model only works when audit teams have complete trust in the professionals they refer—and for many years, Scott has been one of those trusted audit partners who turned to BGA on behalf of his clients.
That is why this announcement carries special meaning for us. Scott is now joining the very team he once entrusted with his own client relationships. His decision to become part of BGA not only speaks to his confidence in our people and our work, it also reinforces the integrity and value we bring to every engagement. As Scott put it, “I believe in BGA enough to join them and further increase the value brought to clients.”
With Scott’s addition, BGA is now home to 10 former Big 4 partners, a reflection of our continued ability to attract senior talent that shares our commitment to delivering high-impact results for clients.
