Amy Langfelder joined Cray Kaiser in 1995, after working for a year in the industry at an IBM joint venture. After immediately demonstrating her innate customer service talents, she soon became a supervisor. In 2017, Amy ascended to her current role as a CK Principal. In addition to her work with clients as an accountant—including engagements as an assurance principal for both profits and nonprofits, she builds client relationships while leading and developing our client accounting advisory services (CAAS).

As she sees it, most certified public accounting practitioners can sufficiently manage matters of compliance. But the real power of the accounting discipline lies in expanding clients’ financial literacy so that they may more effectively lead their businesses. This belief has led Amy to head CK’s CAAS division which is dedicated to empowering clients with knowledge and understanding to make confident decisions and pave the way towards success.

Because of Cray Kaiser’s niche expertise in closely held and family-owned businesses, many of the owners and presidents of these companies work directly with Amy on their consulting and tax needs. This access to client leadership extends her ability to change business practices for the better. And that is what
Amy is all about.

Amy graduated with a degree in Accounting from Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois.

Community: Memberships: Vistage, CAAS Accelerator and formerly served on various boards and finance committees.
