Katie E. Erickson

Katie E. Erickson is the Firm Administrator at Lanphier LLP, where she manages the day-to-day operations, scheduling, document workflows, and administrative processes that keep the firm running efficiently. Katie's organizational skills, attention to detail, and warm personality make her an essential part of the team and often one of the first people clients interact with.

Background and Education

Originally from Rhode Island, Katie took an unconventional path to the accounting world. She moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to attend Belmont University, where she earned her BBA. Belmont's location in the heart of Music City connected Katie with the music industry, and she went on to work in songwriter royalty analytics at one of the top music publishers in the world. In that role, she managed complex data sets, tracked royalty distributions, and ensured that songwriters received accurate compensation -- work that demanded precision, analytical thinking, and the ability to manage large volumes of financial information.

Career at Lanphier LLP

Katie's transition from the music industry to public accounting may seem unexpected, but the skills she developed -- meticulous attention to detail, comfort with financial data, and a talent for managing complex workflows -- translate directly to her role at Lanphier LLP. As Firm Administrator, she oversees the operational backbone of the practice, including client scheduling, document management, internal coordination, and the administrative systems that allow the professional team to focus on advisory and tax work.

Her diverse background brings a fresh perspective to the firm, and her ability to keep multiple moving parts organized and running smoothly is invaluable during the firm's busiest seasons.
