Brian Drake, CPA
Managing Partner & Forensic Accountant
Brian leads Drake Loss Consulting’s business interruption and contents practice and oversees the firm’s operations. He has handled business interruption claims for more than five years and has been a licensed public adjuster for two, applying a forensic accounting approach that builds positions on documentation and financial evidence.
Before founding the firm, Brian spent seven years in public accounting and corporate finance. He served in Ernst & Young’s Wealth & Asset Management practice, in SEC reporting at Datadog, and as Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. That background in financial statements, forecasting, and reporting underpins his analysis of lost income, extra expense, and loss of rents claims.
