About Potomac Bear Advisors

Reece Leonard

Principal & Founder

Reece Leonard is the founder of Potomac Bear Advisors, a business financial strategy firm built on a simple conviction: small businesses deserve the same quality of financial expertise that large organizations take for granted.

A Southern Maryland native with a background in Finance and Accounting, Reece spent three years at CohnReznick — one of the nation's leading professional services firms — where he worked deep inside the financial systems of large defense and government contractors. Auditing complex accounting structures, conducting variance analysis, and identifying financial irregularities gave him a sharp eye for the details that most people miss and the problems that most businesses don't know they have.

He started Potomac Bear Advisors because he believed that expertise shouldn't be reserved for the biggest players. The marina owner, the landscaping company, the restaurant operator — these businesses work just as hard and deserve a financial partner who will show up, dig in, and actually help them grow.

Reece doesn't just make recommendations and walk away. He gets into the numbers, questions what doesn't look right, and stays until there's a real solution. Think less consultant, more financial partner with something to prove.

When he's not working, you'll find Reece on the water — fishing, boating, and soaking up everything the Chesapeake and beyond has to offer. That same love of the water is part of what drew him to the marina industry and the coastal businesses that Potomac Bear Advisors proudly serves.
