Rob Brown

Managing Director, Founder

MBA & CPA Candidate

I’m Rob Brown, a brand and business developer based in Washington, DC. I help creative entrepreneurs, entertainers, and brand leaders build, organize, and manage companies that move with both vision and structure—connecting brand, strategy, operations, and finance into one solid foundation.

With a background in both finance and design, I bring a mix of strategy, style, and systems to the table. I began my career in public accounting, working in the private wealth group serving high-net-worth individuals, primarily family-owned businesses with significant real estate holdings. My focus was on closely held entities, complex trusts, estates, and partnerships. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Business Management. On the creative side, I’ve also worked as a graphic designer in the streetwear space, which sharpened my eye for identity and cultural relevance.

At the core of my work is a simple belief. Businesses, like individuals, must dedicate their resources to both brand and function. Brand is the identity, reputation, and emotional connection you build with your audience. Function is the structure behind it—the systems, the performance, the delivery. Most people build one or the other. I build both.

Through my firm, I serve as a business partner for hire, offering on-demand strategic support without the equity strings. I help founders refine their strategy, build internal systems, and tighten their financial infrastructure so their brand-led business can run smoother, scale smarter, and stay aligned with their goals.

While pursuing my MBA at American University and working toward my CPA license, I’m also building KOMMUNION, my personal brand and community where I share what I’m learning along the way.
