Our Team

Abby Daugherty, CPA, Principal

Abby is a principal in Maner’s Accounting and Outsourced Solutions department, where she provides tailored outsourced services that solve problems and make her clients’ lives easier.

After beginning her career at Maner in 2013, Abby left the firm to work for a large national insurance company. In this role, she gained four years of experience on the client side, learning first-hand their challenges, concerns and problems. Her time outside of public accounting helped to strengthen her skills and provided her with a unique ability to relate to and support her clients.

Abby returned to Maner because of the flexible, family-oriented culture and the firm’s ongoing commitment to community involvement and outreach (two things that are very important to her personally). A  recipient of the MICPA Emerging Leaders award in 2017, Abby’s goal is to share her experience and knowledge with her clients to help them be successful.

Passionate about finding realistic, actionable solutions, Abby enjoys partnering with clients to solve challenges. She works primarily with nonprofit organizations and is driven to help mission-based organizations make a meaningful impact in their communities.

A graduate of Michigan State University with a Master of Science in Accounting, Abby and her husband, Kyle, and two young kids, Charlotte and Jameson, reside in Okemos, Michigan. Abby is a dedicated and hands-on mom who is passionate about helping her children grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.

I value connecting with people in meaningful ways beyond simple acquaintances. Building close, authentic relationships through regular, genuine interaction has been instrumental in my career development.
