Elizabeth Hutchison, CPA
Senior Tax Manager
“Being part of a client’s team of trusted advisors—sharing in their challenges, celebrating their wins, and contributing to their success—has been the greatest privilege”
Experience and Expertise
For more than 18 years, Elizabeth has partnered with clients of all sizes, bringing a wealth of tax expertise shaped by her experience with both boutique and large firms. While her foundation is in tax, Elizabeth’s role often extends far beyond compliance—guiding clients through business transitions, personal financial changes, and strategic tax planning in collaboration with financial planners and investment advisors.
Her industry experience spans professional services (including legal and dental practices), family office and wealth management, real estate, and a wide range of closely held businesses. Elizabeth’s clients value her ability to pair deep technical knowledge with an understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities they face. By tailoring her approach to each client’s goals, she has become more than an advisor, she’s trusted partner invested in their long-term success.
Approach
Elizabeth’s philosophy centers on delivering consistent and high quality client service. She begins every relationship by listening deeply, seeking to understand not only her clients’ goals, but also their priorities, pain points, and unspoken concerns. Through thoughtful questions and meaningful conversations, she often uncovers opportunities that clients didn’t realize existed.
By consistently delivering both what clients want and what they need, Elizabeth transforms the relationship from one of service provider to strategic advisors, someone her clients can rely on through every stage of their journey.
