Ellen Bridgewater, our resident CPA, champions the mission of aligning our clients’ financial actions with their ambitions. Her expertise in payroll, accounting, and tax services coupled with business advice, forms the backbone of our practice. Ellen’s experience, dating back to 1984, is interrupted only by a pause to devote herself to raising her family. This balance between work and life, which Ellen successfully navigated, echoes the balance we strive to create for our clients.
Ellen’s affinity for math and puzzles found its purpose in accounting, a field she embraced since her first encounter in high school. This love, coupled with her effervescent personality, paves the way for her to build and nurture meaningful relationships with our clients. Through these relationships, she understands our clients’ unique desires, helping them work towards a fulfilling life.
Ellen’s participation in community affairs mirrors her professional dedication. She actively contributes to the Twin City Area Optimist Club, holding various leadership positions. Away from her professional role, Ellen finds joy in scrapbooking family memories, engaging in literature discussions with her book club, and maintaining her health through walks and workouts.
Ellen embodies our company’s belief in family values. Having raised her own children and now contributing to the upbringing of her grandchildren, she seamlessly integrates her nurturing energy into our client relationships. At the same time, she brings levity and enjoyment to her work, believing there’s always room for a good laugh amidst the seriousness of managing financial affairs.
