Accurate financials matter. So does having a team that stays engaged enough to help you use them. Enlightened Order was built for business owners who want clarity, consistency, and sound financial guidance they can actually act on.
Enlightened Order is a senior-level team built to support business owners with both strong technical execution and thoughtful client leadership. We keep our client relationships intentionally high-touch, so the people supporting your business understand more than your chart of accounts — they understand how your business operates.
Katie founded Enlightened Order to create the kind of firm business owners actually need: one that pairs financial oversight with clear communication, sound judgment, and a deeper understanding of what it takes to lead a growing company.
As Founder and CEO, she sets the vision for the firm and the standard for how clients are served. Her perspective is shaped by years spent building the business, working closely with financial operations, and understanding firsthand the realities business owners face as they navigate growth, uncertainty, and competing priorities.
Katie has built Enlightened Order around a simple principle: technical work matters, but clarity, honesty, and follow-through are what make that work valuable. She remains closely involved in the firm’s strategic direction and in the client relationships where high-level financial guidance matters most.
Michelle brings nearly 20 years of accounting and operational leadership experience, with a background that spans firm ownership, firm management, and advisory work focused on helping accounting practices operate more effectively.
An early leader in cloud accounting and firm systems design, she combines deep operational expertise with strategic vision. Her background includes advanced QuickBooks certifications, recognition as a Top 100 QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and service on Intuit’s Accountant Advisory Council.
At Enlightened Order, Michelle oversees the client journey from structure to delivery — shaping how engagements are designed, how work moves through the firm, and how the client experience consistently reflects what was promised.
Our team includes licensed CPAs, experienced accountants, and dedicated bookkeeping support with deep expertise across monthly accounting, tax, advisory, and controller-level work.
We have built the team to deliver more than task completion. The work is technical, but the value lies in having professionals who understand how business finances support better decisions. We keep our client-to-staff ratio intentionally low so your team knows your business, your priorities, and the context behind the numbers.
The principles that shape every client relationship, every deliverable, and every decision we make.
Every client relationship starts with a Financial Clarity Assessment.
