National accounting and consulting firm Novogradac has promoted four principals to partner, effective January 1, as part of its continued investment in advisory services supporting the evolving fintech, digital finance, and technology-enabled real estate sectors. The newly appointed partners are Nicole Crites (Bellevue, Washington), Jodie Fish (Portland, Oregon), Ashley McKenzie and Karie McMillen (Dover, Ohio), and Lucy Tran (San Francisco).

“My partners and I are pleased to welcome this group of dedicated professionals to the partnership,” said Michael J. Novogradac, managing partner of Novogradac. “As financial services, technology, and data-driven investment models continue to converge, these leaders will help ensure our clients navigate complexity and unlock growth.”

The promoted partners bring deep expertise across affordable housing finance, tax credit structures, real estate investment platforms, and regulatory compliance—areas increasingly shaped by fintech innovation, digital reporting systems, and data-driven capital allocation. Their work supports developers, investors, funds, and technology-enabled financial platforms seeking efficient structuring, compliance, and scalable growth.

The promotions reinforce Novogradac’s role as a key advisor at the intersection of finance, technology, and regulated markets, supporting fintech firms and institutional investors operating across real estate, community development, and alternative investment ecosystems.
