Meet the Team: Brian Lavery

Property Accountant

What is your role at BRIGS, and what do you do in that role?

As a Property Accountant, I prepare monthly financials for a portfolio of properties.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job? 

Solving problems. For most of my properties, the financials are straightforward. When an unusual or unexpected problem comes up, I enjoy the challenge of solving it.

What are you most looking forward to this fall?

October 15 is the home opener for the Bruins, so there’s that! I also love the foliage, cooler weather, and avoiding anything pumpkin spice.

I love what the Seaport has become, it’s a great place to walk around. My favorite place to visit is the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. My favorite dining experience is Grill 23.

I’m currently re-reading the Spenser series of books by Robert Parker. I’m about halfway through and love his work. I also follow NASCAR and look forward to weekend races, either in person or on TV.

Babysitting! I became a first-time grandfather this month, and an ideal weekend would include spending time with my grandson.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

Coffee!

Either a short hike or a long drive.

Apple picking.

More fun facts: 

  • Favorite vacation destination is Orlando, FL.
  • My Spirit Animal is a sloth!
  • Favorite music is Progressive Rock, especially Yes, Genesis, and Rush.
  • Favorite movie is Miracle.
  • Favorite current athlete is Brad Marchand.
  • Favorite evening plan is family board game night.
  • Favorite restaurant is 7 South in Natick.

I also have a working knowledge of shearing sheep…
