Meet Our Leadership
Tabatha Stewart, SHRM-CP | Founder & President
25+ Years Experience | SHRM-CP | QBO Certified | Executive Financial Leadership | ERP & Systems | Forensic & Litigation Support
Tabatha Stewart brings more than 25 years of experience across accounting, finance, human resources, operations and business systems. Throughout her career, she has served in executive and senior financial leadership roles including CFO, Secretary/Treasurer and Corporate Financial Controller, working with organizations ranging from entrepreneurial and privately held businesses to private-equity-backed and publicly traded companies.
Her experience spans manufacturing, oilfield services, pipe and tubular products, construction, distribution, home services and other complex operating environments. She has led ERP implementations and system migrations, strengthened internal controls, developed SOPs, improved accounting and operational processes, supported audits and managed complex financial reporting, payroll, HR and multi-entity environments.
Tabatha also brings experience in forensic and litigation-support accounting, including historical financial reconstruction, complex financial analysis, Big Four audit support, preparation of executive and litigation materials, and testimony in legal proceedings. Her work has helped organizations identify financial exposure, strengthen controls, improve visibility and protect significant financial resources through better processes and oversight.
A SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and QuickBooks Online Certified professional, Tabatha combines traditional financial discipline with a strong understanding of technology and automation. Her systems experience includes SAP Business One, NetSuite, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics GP/Great Plains, QuickBooks, ADP, Paycom, iSolved, Eddy, ServiceTitan, FieldRoutes and other accounting, ERP, payroll and operational platforms. She believes technology—including AI—can be a powerful business tool when paired with thoughtful implementation, appropriate controls and human oversight.
Beyond her professional work, service has remained an important part of Tabatha's life. She has served in legislative affairs with North Texas SHRM and currently serves on the board of Canyonlands Field Institute, supporting finance and digital marketing for the nonprofit's outdoor and environmental education mission. Over the years, she has volunteered in causes ranging from youth sports and community cleanups to homelessness outreach, women's mentoring and charitable events.
Outside the office, Tabatha is an avid hiker, traveler and novice photographer who is happiest exploring the outdoors—usually with a camera nearby.
Her approach to leadership is ultimately the same approach she brings to ITXAO: build something useful, teach what you know, create transparency and leave things better than you found them.
