Professor "Bee" Nance

Professor "Bee" Nance is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with over 15
years of professional experience in accounting, budgeting, and financial management.
With expertise in non-profit accounting, she provides financial oversight to multi-million-dollar organizations while moonlighting as an Accounting Professor, accounting
translator and published author.

Bee works full-time as the Chief Financial & Administrative Officer (CFAO) for The
Better Angels Society, a non-profit organization that supports American history
documentary films to advance civic engagement and educate generations of students
and lifelong learners.

Bee founded The Rising Sunny, a social enterprise and published her first book, Sunny
Gets Money. This financial literacy tool is a fun story that combines financial education,
rhythmic verses, and storytelling as you follow 9-year-old Sunny through the ups and
downs of managing, saving, sharing, and spending money.

“Professor Nance – The Accounting Translator” is the title of Bee’s YouTube Page
where she teaches accounting and supports future CPAs by creating content that
current generations of accounting students can relate to and absorb in a fun,
entertaining way.

In 2021, Bee was selected as one of the 2020 top 50 women in accounting by Practice
Ignition, and she was awarded the 40 under 40 black CPA award as a part of the
celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first Black CPA in America. Bee is also a
recipient of the 2023 Young Leader Award by Texas Women’s Foundation.

A multi-passionate person, Bee can be found singing, baking, learning guitar, and
randomly speaking French or Spanish in her “free” time.

Bee grew up in North Carolina and graduated from the best HBCU in the land, NC A&T
State University. She currently resides in Houston, TX with her husband, and their two
sons.
