Profile

A career built on precision.

Lindsay Welch is a Certified Public Accountant providing expert witness testimony and financial analysis to attorneys handling family law, divorce, and complex business disputes. Her work spans the full range of modern financial practice — from the disciplined audit protocols of a global Big Four firm to the strategic demands of corporate finance leadership.

She earned a dual Bachelor of Science in Accounting and International Business from Oregon State University in 2005, then began her career in audit and assurance at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the Big Four firms. Today, she brings that combined background to expert witness and litigation support engagements, offering legal teams an analyst who understands not only the numbers but the operational, regulatory, and governance contexts that produce them.

Practice

Family law and complex financial disputes.

Lindsay's practice focuses on the financial questions that drive case strategy in dissolution and litigation: marital waste analysis, income reconstruction from tax returns and bank records, tracing of personal versus business spending across multiple entities, identification of separate versus marital assets, and damages analysis.

She has prepared written exhibits and provided court testimony in matters throughout Central Oregon, and is regularly retained by family law attorneys for contested dissolution and post-decree matters.

Experience

Breadth across sectors.

Lindsay's career has spanned audit, tax, financial advisory, and corporate finance — giving her a cross-disciplinary view of how financial decisions unfold inside real organizations.
