Mike Whitlock

“Listening is my strongest and, without a doubt, favorite skill.”

As Auctor’s CFO, Mike Whitlock emphasizes that he is not “just” about accounting, but about vision: “My passion is helping business owners understand financial statements, helping to chart a course for improvements or opportunity, and securing financing to grow their business.”

After a start with a public accounting firm, Mike opened a small accounting practice in 1992. His initial focus was not-for-profit organizations with a few specialty contractors. With revenues at his largest client growing quickly, he joined as financial controller, where he established internal controls and procedures.

Mike is a graduate of Purdue University with a Bachelor’s in General Management; he also holds CPA certification.

Outside of work, Mike is an enthusiastic fitness advocate, an avid gardener with a passion for growing hundreds of varieties of hostas, and a breeder of championship Labrador retrievers.

“I often volunteer and have been on the board of several not-for-profit organizations (for teens, dogs, and plants)—seems I always get to be the treasurer.”
