About Us: Origin was founded by Lindsay Stevenson, CPA, CGMA to help leaders uncover organizational purpose and align culture, strategic initiatives, and client delivery methodologies to that purpose. After 13 years as an auditor and tax expert in public accounting, Lindsay recognized that organizations are often focused on the mechanics of running the business, delivering products or services and keeping up with compliance requirements, and the competitive advantage of knowing the “why” of the business gets lost. Through interactions with top level executives, business owners and industry leaders, Lindsay discovered that the real potential for success lies within an organization’s ability to understand its true purpose.

We believe that you already have everything you need for your organization to operate at its maximum potential, we strive to help you uncover it!
