Kyle Broderick, CPA

I am a 5th year Ph.D. candidate on the 2025-2026 job market. Before starting my Ph.D. journey, I received a B.S. in Accounting and an M.S. in Philosophy from Boston College. I also worked as an auditor for Deloitte in Boston, where I primarily worked on clients in the manufacturing, biotech, and pharmaceutical spaces. I continue to maintain an active CPA license in Massachusetts.

I predominantly conduct audit research, using my unique background of Philosophy and Accounting to examine auditors' judgment and decision-making. My primary research interests focus on how social dynamics within the audit team influence key audit outcomes. For example, I am interested in engagement team hierarchies, supervisor-subordinate relationships and feedback, as well as peer comparisons and communication. Secondarily, I am interested in the impact of advancing technologies in the audit, with plans to explore how these tools improve or disrupt traditional audit team social dynamics.
