About Us

Wendy Stevens, CPA, CGMA, MSA.

An accountant for almost 30 years, I began in the accounts receivable department of a graphics and printing company. It was from there that I moved on to also doing accounts payable, payroll, and financial and operational management. I’ve held roles like bookkeeper, staff accountant, senior accountant, controller, and chief financial officer.

My Professional Inspiration

My mother was the first woman auditor for the State of Indiana where she worked at the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. Her father was also an auditor and her sister and brother were both accountants. I will never forget when my mom sat me down and told me all she hoped I’d be. She said: “If you ever learned anything from me, it’s that I want you to be good, and honest, and true…oh, and always pay your taxes!” She really wasn’t kidding about the complex regulatory environment. There are many different agencies and regulations that businesses need to navigate. I thoroughly enjoy assisting
businesses navigate them successfully. While my mother was an auditor, my father built a large business that installed plumbing in high rise buildings. He had taken a large deposit to begin a project overseas when his accountant embezzled millions of dollars and bankrupted his business. This was incredibly devastating to our family and was a major driver of my interest in learning about accounting practices that protect company assets. In the many years I’ve worked in accounting departments and alongside auditors, I’ve become an expert in accounting controls that protect businesses and their owners.
