Brandon Hughes, Senior Tax Accountant

One could almost say Brandon Hughes had a guardian angel – or more accurately, a guardian professor – who made sure he didn’t miss out on an opportunity to start his career.
"I attended a "Meet the Firms" event at my college and had a chance to meet with several firms. Rudler was one of the first I connected with, but they followed up and I somehow missed it," Hughes recalls. "Luckily, Rudler contacted my professor at the time, and she got me in touch with them again."
The rest is history – Brandon started his Career at Rudler, PSC in Dec. 2022 and has been with the firm since.
A Northern Kentucky native now residing in Erlanger, Brandon attended Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, where he was a member of the men’s basketball team. He then transferred to Thomas More University where he earned his bachelor’s degree in accountancy where he attended the ‘Meet the Firms’ event. He started his career as a co-op student; he was promoted to a Senior Tax Accountant position in Jan. 2026.
In his new role he’ll be expanding his work in preparing returns for businesses, individuals, trusts and estates with increased direct communication with clients and managing and overseeing co-op students filling the role he once did himself.
He looks forward to showing his clients his promotion was well earned by continuing to provide amazing service.
“I’m excited to network with clients and expand my connections,” he says. “I want my clients to know that I care, not just for their business but that I also care about the deep personal connections I’m excited to make. We try not to have a blanket approach to how we serve our clients because they’re not just a name on a paper. We really cater to their needs and respond as quickly as possible.”
Away from the office, Brandon enjoys spending time with his wife, Nelle, and playing board games with friends, among other activities. He is a presence at the Northern Kentucky Chamber’s Young Professionals (NKYP) events and volunteers with Isaiah House Ministries, participating in their food drives to help those in need.
