Our people

Two partners. Engineering trained. No middlemen.

Meet the team behind aecre consulting. Both partners touch every engagement, from the first call to the final deliverable.

Our story

Why did Taylor and Brandon start aecre?

Each had seen what happens when one side outpaces the other: great engineering with no clients, or aggressive sales with thin deliverables.

Taylor spent years building the technical methodology behind tax incentive studies. Brandon spent years on the other side, building the client relationships and growth strategies that bring those studies to market.

What makes the partnership work is that neither stays in his lane. Taylor is as comfortable on a sales call as he is behind a spreadsheet or terminal screen, and Brandon knows the incentive landscape well enough to consult and deliver alongside the technical team. That overlap is intentional. It means clients get senior attention at every stage, not a handoff from the person who sold the work to someone they've never met.

The partners

Who are the partners at aecre?

Taylor Beamer

Taylor Beamer, PE

Partner, Operations and Engineering
PE in 47 states · Multi-discipline engineering background · Built two prior 179D practices

Taylor is a licensed Professional Engineer with active credentials across 47 states and jurisdictions and over a decade of multi-discipline engineering experience in oil and gas, petrochemical, and renewable hydrogen, spanning major project engineering, instrumentation and controls, compressor applications, and pressure vessel design.

He brought that technical depth into the tax incentive space, where he has built and led two 179D practices, performed hundreds of field inspections, and delivered thousands of studies across 179D and R&D engagements. At aecre, Taylor builds the methodology, tools, and deliverables that power every study the firm produces. He also leads business development strategy, trains sales teams, and is usually the person on the other end of a technical question.

Brandon Carroll

Brandon Carroll

Partner, Growth and Strategy
Tax incentive strategy and growth leadership · Former senior leader at a global firm and partner at an international firm

Brandon brings over 20 years of business development and technology sales experience to aecre. He spent six years at a major global tax incentive firm, rising from consultant to senior management leading key accounts and international business. He then joined an international firm as Partner, driving growth strategy for their 179D energy efficiency practice.

Across both roles, he has spent nearly a decade educating companies, CPAs, venture capital firms, and professional organizations on the full scope of R&D tax credits, energy efficiency incentives, and other federal and state programs, with a particular focus on identifying industries and companies that have been systematically overlooked. At aecre, Brandon leads growth strategy and is typically the first person you'll speak with. He has an ear for understanding a business quickly.

How we work

How do Taylor and Brandon split the work?

Both touch every engagement. Not as a courtesy. By design. Each has spent years on the other side of the relationship and knows what gets missed when only one perspective is in the room.
