Bricks Advisory

About

The consultant who has been inside the work.

Founder-led. Practically built. Every engagement backed by someone who has lived the operating and audit accountability—not only advised on it from the outside.

Alyssa Clarcq, founder of Bricks Advisory

Hi, I’m Alyssa.

Senior judgment. Boutique delivery.

I’m a CPA based in Tampa. I started at a Big 4 firm, spent years running SOX programs from the inside, and built Bricks Advisory to deliver the kind of direct, practical support I wanted when I sat on the client side.

I lead every engagement, make the key decisions, and own the deliverables. When a scope needs additional depth, I bring in vetted specialists for that work — without burying the client under a padded team.

Big 4 foundation

Financial services audit, internal controls, process documentation, testing, and Alteryx adoption across a large engagement team.

Public-company SOX leadership

Full-cycle SOX 302/404 accountability inside a highly regulated, multi-state operator.

CPA + CISA candidate

Financial reporting depth paired with technology, IT controls, and governance fluency.

Nearly a decade across regulated industries

Banking, retail, healthcare, cannabis, insurance, logistics, and manufacturing.

How I work

Senior-led. Practically delivered.

Controls are built with the business, AI is used with human review, and every deliverable should be useful after the engagement ends.

Built with the business

Controls have to work for the team, system, and operating model in front of us — not an idealized org chart.

Documentation people can use

Narratives, matrices, workflows, and handoffs are written for execution, not shelf storage.

Technology with judgment

Automation and AI should make compliance faster and more defensible without obscuring ownership.

Clear scope and candor

If Bricks is not the right fit, you will hear that directly before a proposal is sent.

Speaking & training

Practical sessions for finance, audit, and leadership teams.

Available for conferences, webinars, CPE programs, and team workshops on SOX, internal controls, audit modernization, and responsible AI adoption in accounting and finance.
