Yeo & Yeo is pleased to announce that Christopher Sheridan, CPA, CVA, and Danielle Lutz, CPA, have earned the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential. This certification recognizes professionals with advanced fraud prevention, detection, and investigation expertise.
 
CFEs combine knowledge of complex financial transactions with an understanding of investigation methods and legal frameworks to uncover and resolve fraud allegations. The credential requires rigorous testing across four core areas: financial transactions, law, investigation, and fraud prevention. By earning this credential, Lutz and Sheridan further strengthen Yeo & Yeo’s ability to help clients safeguard their organizations.

In 2021, his leadership and expertise were recognized when he was named a “40 Under Forty” honoree by the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts. Just as committed to his community as he is to his profession, he serves on the boards of the Montessori Children’s House of Bay City and the Great Lakes Bay Economic Club.
