Ed Bright is a fourth-generation Seattleite and Washington State University graduate with a degree in Accounting. He began his career at Arthur Andersen & Co., a Big-4 accounting firm, where he built the technical foundation in audit and tax that still shapes how he thinks about client portfolios today.
Recognizing a growing need for financial expertise, Ed founded Seattle Financial Staffing, a recruiting firm serving clients like Starbucks, Amazon, and Costco. After successfully expanding the business to multiple offices, he sold it in 2015 to focus on education and community impact.
Today, Ed teaches accounting, and personal finance at Bellevue High School and continues to help individuals plan and invest in their financial futures through Tallus Capital Management.
Outside of work, Ed enjoys traveling, cheering on Seattle sports teams, and spending time with his family — including his wife Meeta, his step-daughter Kayla, who is working toward a career as a physician assistant, and his son Jacob, who is studying Accounting and Business Analytics at Seattle University.
