​Elevated Advisory & Accounting: 10 Years of Disrupting Financial Expectations

By Erin Shubel, EAA Chief of Staff

In the heart of Montana, a quiet revolution has been brewing. Not with loud proclamations or Silicon Valley fanfare, but through the strategic brilliance of one woman who saw beyond spreadsheets to the dreams hiding between the numbers.

The Architect of Possibility

Sarah Gould didn't just start an accounting firm. She reimagined what financial partnership could mean for entrepreneurs across the Northwest. With two decades of financial expertise etched into her professional DNA, Sarah understood something most accountants miss: numbers tell stories, and those stories can be rewritten.

It was a typical morning in 2014 – coffee brewing, possibilities brewing even stronger. While other financial professionals were content with traditional number-crunching, Sarah was plotting a different course. Her lightbulb moment wasn't about creating another accounting firm. It was about empowering local entrepreneurs to chase dreams that seemed just beyond reach.

Elevated Advisory & Accounting emerged not as a traditional service, but as a strategic partner. Each client became more than a set of financial statements – they became a potential success story waiting to be authored.
The firm's evolution speaks volumes:

• 2014: A bold idea takes root
• 2016: Outgrowing the original concept, expanding service offerings
• 2018: A strategic rebrand signaling comprehensive advisory capabilities
• 2025: Celebration of our 10 year milestone

What separates Sarah's approach is her holistic vision. Financial management isn't about recording history – it's about creating future possibilities. Her team doesn't just balance books; they:

• Decode complex financial landscapes
• Identify hidden growth opportunities
• Transform data into actionable strategies

Sarah's vision extends far beyond profit margins. Each client engagement represents an opportunity to strengthen local economic ecosystems, support emerging entrepreneurs, and fuel community growth. As we stand at this remarkable milestone, our hearts are full of anticipation. The next ten years aren't just about financial strategies – they're about the stories we'll help write, the businesses we'll help transform, and the community we'll continue to elevate.

We see a future where:

• Technology becomes a seamless partner in business growth
• Personalized financial strategies unlock unprecedented potential
• Local entrepreneurs don't just survive, but spectacularly thrive

Our commitment runs deeper than services. It's about legacy. It's about watching a small business idea bloom into a community cornerstone. It's about being the quiet force behind extraordinary achievements.

10 YEARS.
COUNTLESS DREAMS.
INFINITE POTENTIAL.

This isn't just an anniversary. It's a declaration. A promise that we'll continue to stand beside entrepreneurs, turning their boldest visions into reality.
