Robert T. Beers (born October 14, 1959) is an American accountant (CPA) and member of the Republican Party who is a 2018 candidate for Nevada Treasurer. He was previously an elected member of the Las Vegas City Council from 2012 to 2017, Nevada Assembly from 1998 to 2004 and the Nevada Senate from 2005 to 2008. He ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for Governor of Nevada in 2006 and in January 2014, he announced that he would run against Democratic Senator Harry Reid in the 2016 U.S. Senate election, but he withdrew from the race in June 2015.
Beers moved to Las Vegas at age 11, graduating from Ed W. Clark High School with high honors in 1977 and from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with distinction with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree in 1987.
His community activities include: current volunteer treasurer for the Old Spanish Trail Association, with past treasurer service to Southern Nevada Clean Communities, the Tonopah Historic Mining Park Foundation, and the Nevada Republican Party; president of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce Business Expo; and President-elect for the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce Business Council. As a volunteer, he has created or maintained websites for over a dozen community organizations.
A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) since 1989, Beers founded Las Vegas computer accounting consultants Wilson, Beers & Alu in 1989, and sold it to a large local CPA firm in 2002. This company specialized in PC-based networks with multi-user accounting software. From 2004-2007, he was the marketing director for a outsourcer of HR. In 2009, he started Seale and Beers, CPAs, an auditor of small public companies, which he managed until 2012. He currently consults business owners on their treasuries.
