Brian Price CPA, QKA

Chief Executive Officer

As the Founder and CEO of Autire, Brian is leading the charge in transforming Employee Benefit Plan (EBP) audits through automation and innovation. After 37 years as the founder and managing partner of PriceKubecka, Brian retired in 2024, leaving behind a highly successful practice that ranks among the top 1% of CPA firms nationwide for 401(k) audit volume and quality.

Having spent decades in the trenches of retirement plan audits, Brian experienced firsthand the inadequacies and frustrations of traditional methods and set out to create a better way. In 2017, he meticulously deconstructed the audit process, identifying inefficiencies and opportunities for automation. He then partnered with top IT developers to build Autire, the industry’s first and only fully automated, end-to-end EBP audit solution, designed to save CPA firms time, reduce errors, and improve compliance.

Brian’s commitment to advancing the accounting profession extends beyond Autire. He is a longtime member of the AICPA and has previously served on the association’s EBP Audit Quality Center Executive Committee. He currently sits on the Advisory Board of the SPARK Institute, one of the most influential advocacy organizations in the retirement plan industry.
