Thomas Linden

Controller, Project Manager

Thomas Linden

Tom Linden brings over seven years of accounting and finance experience to Browne Consulting. As a Controller and Project Manager, Tom has been leading several company-wide initiatives to maintain our rigorous quality controls. He has advised clients on a variety of operational accounting matters, such as ERP & procurement system implementations, operational accounting, initial budget setting, and strategic HR (e.g., guidance on initial benefits, payroll and first hires, local regulatory compliance).

Prior to joining Browne Consulting, Tom was a Manager at EY, leading consulting projects in the Financial Services industry (projects including systems strategy and implementation, data strategy and automation, accounting change and SOX compliance). Before that he “cut his teeth” in accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls at John Hancock Financial Services in Boston.

  • Q: Why did you choose to work in the life science industry?
  • A: I was always surrounded by family in the life science industry here in Boston (including my little sister – a PhD candidate and future neuroscientist), this naturally piqued my interest after hearing enough stories. Though most companies like to tout products and services that “change the world,” it was not until I got into this industry that I met clients that do life-changing work daily.
  • Q: What do you like about working for Browne and/or your clients?
  • A: After working for large firms and advising enough whale-sized clients, I have learned the ramifications of having a half-baked strategy (or a good strategy that is poorly executed). I relish the opportunity to advise clients before and as they reach these inflection points instead of years after the fact.
  • Q: What are you passionate about outside of work?
  • A: Dog training. I always thought I would be more of a “passive” dog owner, but I have really grown to love training my one-year-old bird dog. If you found me eight months ago and told me this would become a passion of mine, I would not have believed a word of it.
