Michelle Bergstrom, CPA

Michelle is an Accounting Advisor at Trueblaze, where she helps clients record financial transactions, maintain balanced books, and gain clarity from their numbers. A love for accounting began in her high school classroom, and it has guided her career ever since.

Michelle grew up in Northwest Ohio and studied at Bowling Green State University before earning her master’s degree from the Kelley School of Business at IUPUI. She built her career as a CPA, serving for many years as an accounting manager and, in recent years, enjoyed time living in Arizona and Florida. Wanting to be closer to family eventually brought her back home to Northwest Ohio, where she currently resides. Like many Trueblazers, Michelle had worked with Adam previously before joining the firm. She works remotely but still makes it back to Indianapolis with her family for the Indy 500.

Life outside of work keeps Michelle on the move with her two school-aged children, who play soccer, softball, and golf. Golf is a family favorite—her husband and kids make a perfect foursome, and the sport holds special meaning since it was both her first job and where she met her husband. Rounding out the family is Aspen, their playful English Cream Golden Retriever.

Travel has always been a passion for Michelle. While living in Florida, she and her family ventured to beaches from Marco Island to Port Canaveral and down to the Florida Keys. She also treasures visits to Coronado Island near San Diego, one of her favorite destinations. More recently, northern Michigan has become a beloved escape, with its serene lakes, charming small towns, and pristine beaches—perfectly blending her love of the outdoors with treasured family memories.
